 | Comments: |
The entire loop is well broken out: Blueberry, Rollins, Dicey's Mill. Also Kate Sleeper from Rollins and Tom Wiggins from Blueberry were broken out. There were no signs of traffic on the Blueberry Cutoff.
Almost anything could be worn or not worn on the feet today. I saw one person using an iceaxe on the ledges but others made it fine without one. Crampons would probably be ideal (but not necessary) on the ledges. |
