| Comments: |
The weather was much better than forecast. We wore snowshoes for some sections, and spikes, for others, and I wore crampons for the steeps because that's what I'm most comfortable in. The ladder is fairly "easy". D wore snowshoes up and down. ( Not me) After it gets cold again just traction should be enough for the whole hike. |
