| Comments: |
Snowshoed solo from very start of Tuck’s until Madison Spring Hut. Ascended Madison in spikes, which I kept on during Osgood Ridge. Once I was below the trees on Osgood Trail, I switched back to snowshoes, which I wore until I arrived back at Joe Dodge Lodge. Ice axe helped with the scrambly sections on the Lion’s Head Trail while the sun was rising. |
