Congratulations to Postal Patty for completing her over 60 grid on Madison. She is one tough Iron Woman!
Just enough patchy ice on the Valley Way to make rock spikes a good choice. In some places the ice is hard to see because of the leaves and snow. You'll be Ok bareboots but beat up traction makes life easier.
Only about an inch of powder up high. |
