Dealer’s choice of traction on OBP or FW. We saw people straight-up barebooting, in spikes, in full crampons, and in snowshoes. No need for anything more than spikes on the ridge.
That will all be irrelevant after the incoming ice storm. However, Falling Waters in particular will most likely be super sketchy after the storm. Two girls descending set out to butt-sled literally every inch of the trail that they could. With the impending ice coming, that was certainly a decision |
