Big ol spruce down on Dave Roberts Quarry trail, not far past W Quarry summit heading towards Rand. It could be de-limbed with a hand saw to be a duck-under. Simple enough to walk around for now. |

 | Comments: |
Ice was mostly avoidable, given some gymnastics and tree hugging. Otherwise, bushwhacking around it would work too. Hardest was the descent of the little cliffs on Rand towards Klem; that required some fancy footwork. I didn’t use spikes; the ice was only in a few areas, and either easy enough to avoid, or in a spot that I wouldn’t walk on it even with spikes because of the fall risk on the cliff areas. |
