 | Comments: |
The trail is in good shape. Spikes from start to finish. The ledges were actually snow covered and no issues - almost easier than in the summer! The large step-up atop the open ledges was a little tricky due to the ice but with a little patience and concentration on foot placement - and a helping hand - all was good.
Some open wet areas down low but easily avoidable. |
