 | Comments: |
Trail was packed down, no snowshoes needed. Once to the split between the GNL and Woodstock Spur, the trail was sheer ice. Took us a while to make it to the summit without crampons, yet spikes made it better. Without micro spikes, their was no chance of making the summit. Beautiful views and very windy at the top but the way down was much easier. |
