 | Comments: |
Bare boots up to the ridge (with judicious foot placement) but between the drifts and the new snow depth I opted to don the snow shoes once on the ridge. Much easier going. I met one man headed to N Kinsman as I was heading back along the ridge.
That was it for people all day.
Switched to micros after about 1/2 mile from the ridge on the descent.
Removed the traction just a bit before Bald Peak spur.
Pretty much bare ground the rest of the way. |
