 | Comments: |
Ammo was soft when we ascended, but, after all the traffic that trail saw yesterday, it's not probably packed fairly well.
Gulfside was icy. Alex wore Hillsound Trail Pro Crampons and I stayed in my snowshoes on the ascent. I switched to crampons for the descent.
Monroe was snowy and icy -- again, crampon/Hillsound Trail Pro territory.
This was an important hike for our family for many reasons. We are thankful everything went well. |
