Comments
Comments: Quick shoulder season PSA: even in the midday sun the slabs on KRT were still covered in hard black ice despite the nice weather the last few days. With this type of ice/angle, microspikes aren’t going to help you. Pick your spots carefully and maintain multiple points of contact.

Have fun, be safe, make good decisions.
