Comments
Comments: Microspikes from the car (road is all ice as is lower Blueberry Ledge) to the top of Whiteface ledges. Ledges were tricky but still fairly easy. Ice is building though. Bareboots or some stayed in microspikes across Rollins and up Dicey's Mill to top of Passaconway. Microspikes down to about the stream crossing.
Another great day out with great people
