 | Comments: |
Spikes up to Little Haystack, Lincoln, North Lincoln, Lafayette. We wore snowshoes down Old Bridle Path soon after the hut. The snow was very sticky at that point and our spikes were balling up. The trail up to that point was well packed with patches of ice especially on the ridge. Once we passed the Greenleaf hut the snow was deeper and sticky.
