 | Comments: |
A real mixed bag conditions wise. Spikes went on around .75 miles. Came off briefly when we popped out of the woods into the rock scramble before the top, and then back on again along the ridge. Monorail was firm and not too skinny for the most part, but unstable and very thin in the sunny spots. Wind was whipping anywhere there wasn’t cover. Felt much longer than 4.5 miles - level 1.5 fun! |
