 | Comments: |
Wore microspikes for first part and switched to snowshoes when trail got steep. Probably should have had crampons. Ladders and steep sections were really tough and I underestimated the difficultly based on my previous (non-winter) experience. I made it to the top, but very difficult winter route |
