 | Comments: |
Excellent weather day, went up North and down South. Descending the ice luge on south was very troublesome with just microspikes, but a breeze with crampons. Butt sliding on either is a bad idea, as they're both too smooth and steep. Aggressive snowshoes may also help with descent. |
