Spikes or snowshoes was the general consensus on Valley Way. Crampons/ice ax for 0.5 mile stretch from hut to summit. That stretch was steep and very icy. Was a breeze with crampons. Spikes would be do able but with care and some struggle. Not advised. No winds and pleasant temps. Couldn't have asked for a better day. |
