 | Comments: |
Smooth sailing most of the way, and beautiful weather. Micro spikes for the first 2.5 miles or so, then snowshoes the rest of the way. The last scramble is wicked steep and pretty well iced over (under a couple inches of powder). Snowshoes did the job alright but it’d be a breeze with crampons. |
