 | Comments: |
Trail is in good shape (for now, until Sunday's storm). Flat sections we wore spikes. Went up North first. Snowshoes with televators were a huge help. Kept the shoes on over to S. Hancock and put spikes back on. Not sure they helped much descending the steep stretch. We butt slid a good chunk of it without issue. A few gnarly roots and rocks still a bit uncovered if butt sliding so be careful, but it's not overly bony. |
