 | Comments: |
Easy "winter" hike with a few icy ledges to keep things interesting. What snow there is is packed down, zero need for snowshoes. I didn’t even need my gaiters, although they did add a windproof layer for my legs which was nice on this blustery day. I barebooted all day, and others wore light traction. |
