 | Comments: |
Lincoln woods very packed. Bare booted to Osseo. Osseo was almost packed but after taking a couple steps we all put on our snowshoes and packed it down some more. There were a couple minor post holes, nothing ankle breaking and they stopped by the ladders. Ladders were filled in with snow. Elevators on snowshoes made it doable. Ridge walk between flume and liberty well packed but we continued with snowshoes, spikes would have been fine. a few blowdowns on the ridge that were passable either by going around, over, or under. Liberty Springs trail was like a highway. Spikes all that would be needed, we bare booted down without issues. |
