 | Comments: |
The steep part of Ammonoosuc Ravine trail has sections of icy monorail and ice flows, microspikes extremely useful. Above the hut is a mixture of soft snow with some drifts, soft ice and bare rock. I wore microspikes over Washington until the Jewell trail intersection where it got pretty rocky but that was mostly because they were already on. I would not say they were necessary. I did not wear them for Jefferson or the descent of the Jewell trail. The Jewell trail just below tree line has an monorail that can mostly be avoided and it peters out pretty quickly. |
