 | Comments: |
Put microspikes on in parking lot and switched to snowshoes after 3rd crossing and left them on all the way to South Twin and back over North where we switched back to micro's for the descent. Everyone else we saw were in micro's so the steep section on the way up North is a little choppy but has a solid base. I would still want snowshoes for the climb up North and over to South but they are not a must as of today. |
