We had to put on traction almost immediately once we entered the woods. Icy uphill with a few inches of powder on top. Slowly, we changed over one-by-one to more substantial traction (i.e. I switched from micros to my steel Kahtoolas). Not a bad climb at all after that. Views were unbelievable on this trail, which was a new route for me. We had the trail and the summit to ourselves!
5F with 10-15mph winds on the summit - gusts to 20mph. Glorious! Thanks to Sabrina, Michael, Terra and Pemi for having me along today!
Link below has photos now, but no description yet. Should be done later tonight. |
