| Comments: |
Trail consistently required light traction - micro spikes were definitely sufficient for the entire Blueberry Ledge->Mt. Whiteface->Dicey's Mill loop. Yaktrax might have been sufficient, but spikes were fine. A few sections of the ascent up Whiteface were a little icy and somewhat steep, maybe requiring a few feet of crawling for those with short legs, but they were short and far between. |
