 | Comments: |
Bare booted to the summit and back down to the hut. Then our spikes went on back down to 3900 ft. Could've (probably should've) worn spikes from the hut to the summit. Lots of ice up there, but there was snow coverage and bare rocks to provide enough traction. Just made coming down more tedious. Mix of rain, sleet, snow and everything in between. Not super cold though which was nice. Bare boots again below 3900'. Good day! |
