 | Comments: |
Wore several layers all day, adding more at the intersection to prepare for the cold and windy summit. Caution was necessary on the .2 mile stretch between the intersection and the summit due to ice but manageable with the spikes. Appreciated the warmth of the sun on our backs on the way down. Despite the lack of snow and the trail being very bony, we were able to move along pretty well. |
