 | Comments: |
Winter summit of Jefferson from the Ridge of the Caps trail. At times, crampons or snow shoes would have been more appropriate. We did fine with microspikes the whole way. Detoured to move through spruce traps instead of slippery / icy rock in a couple sections. Total time (RT) 5.5hours. |
