 | Comments: |
The flats on both blueberry ledge and dicey mill trails can be barebooted, but above 3,000 ft elevation, micros are needed, and sharp Hillsounds on BB ledges. The two tricky ledge scrambles were beyond challenging today, all I can say is TicTacMan to the rescue!
Rollins is hard packed, with scattered frozen postholes, avoidable but also sadly useful at times on the steeps. Dicey mills was a sidewalk in comparison. |
