Great day on Garfield! Bare booted from gate for first 4+ miles when we added Microspikes/Hillsound Pro's as we continued on to the summit. The snow pack on the upper mountain was very firm. Kept the spikes on for the descent to the water crossings. The warm temps in the afternoon made for some mud on Gale River Rd. |
