 | Comments: |
This route is pretty well exposed to the sun, so a lot of the snow and ice had melted prior to the storm. As a result, only patchy ice remains (as well as a few wet ledges that could freeze into black ice). This route is probably about 80% bare. I was able to bareboot roundtrip with care, but would still carry traction if using other trails nearby. |
