Wow, what a day! Shorts and t-shirt from start to finish with temps in the mid 60's on the summits! A great day to relax and enjoy the views. I barebooted all day except for the section between the Liberty Spring/Franconia Ridge junction to Falling Water junction. Started to bareboot that section but quickly swithced to snowshoes. I was still sinking in those but not as deep or as often but it was tough going. The ridge is practically snow free except for in the trees.
I barebooted going down OBP but most others were wearing traction. Traction would definitely help but didn't want to deal with traction on all the exposed rock. The monorail on OBP is solid and I never postholed. Bill and Jim thanks for the ride back to the Basin. |
