| Comments: |
The theme of the day was ice and more ice. Started out in Hillsound freesteps (light traction). About 1/2 mile before the junction with Webster, we changed out to Hillsound Pros (more like crampons) and did well handling all the ice. Saw a lot of people in full crampons and a handful in lighter traction. Very thankful for crampons today. |
