 | Comments: |
Crust of ice on the rocks at water crossings, some patches of solid ice on the water.
Cascade Brook to Lonesome Lake has light ice and snow, easy with poles and microspikes.
Fishin Jimmy to Kinsman Ridge has shallow hard snowpack and sections of steep, thick, blue ice over rock face.
I made it with microspikes and poles but would recommend front-pointing crampons and maybe an axe. |
