Comments
Comments: What a great day for this ridge! Trails are solid throughout. I used hillsounds; some were in snowshoes. The spikes worked well as the trails are steady and consolidated. The ridge is very bony so spikes are probably best there, but you will want some kind of traction as there is exposed ice.
