Comments
Comments: Tuckerman to Lion Head - it was my first time on both of these trails. Tuckerman to Lion Head was easy going with alot of use. I wore Micro spikes but many were bear booting.


At Lion Head switched to crampons and glad that I did some steep ice sections where an ice axe was very handy for up and down. Above treeline quite windy with low visibilty but enough to see cairns.
