 | Comments: |
Crotched solo via Bennington Trail. Poked around the summit area on several side trails, including the spur that leads to the top of the ski area. Snow is patchy and mostly thin with sections of trail washed out to bare ground and plenty of exposed rocks. Some icy patches, mostly avoidable. Wore a beater pair of spikes, but probably could have got by without them. |
