see previous report for conditions from Scaur Ridge jct to summits.
Lower Pine Bend pretty solid.. quite choppy coming out of the ravine..smoothed it out with snowshoes on descent but most others in spikes so expect the worse. Once to the ridge snow depths got much deeper in a postholed mess. Snowshoes provided perfect traction through the nasty section and the climbs to the summits. Real nice snowshoe conditions however except for previous poster everyone else was in spikes which made for a pretty choppy mess in places. I found msrs to be great traction for descent and switched to bareboots at the wilderness sign out to the road. Lots of people out today for sure...fun day out with Valerie and a great meal in Plymouth at the Thai smile with TimC and LRiz..life is good... |
