Beautiful quick trip up Parker Mountain. Met Molly and her owner coming down as I was going up. He was barebooting I was wearing my Hill trail crampons. After the freeze tonight light traction will definitely be required. Lots of slush and granular snow at the top. Ice had covered all the trees and many sections of the trail I had to duck under overhanging tree limbs because of all the ice on the branches. |
