| Comments: |
Valley Way was well broken, as was Gulfside before Adams and after Jefferson. Some deep drifts between Adams and Jefferson, trail was unbroken/windswept from yesterday's winds as of this morning. We did the whole things in micros, crampons weren't necessary. Snowshoes could be useful after Monroe- there were deeper drifts, but we didn't want the hassle of switching out and got through pretty quickly in micros. |
