 | Comments: |
Wore spikes for pretty much the entire hike; probably would have turned back without them. The lower parts were broken out; the scramble to Jackson was slippery and icy; between Jackson and Webster, the trail was a unbroken, waist deep, posthole-y, spruce trap filled mess. Both peaks had good views, though, which made up for the rough walking. |
