| Comments: |
Started in spikes but switched to snowshoes after second bridge due to spikes balling up with snow. Trail was packed and in good condition. Switched to spikes above tree-line. Just before tree-line the trail is a bit choppy and some post-holes. Rocks were covered in ice but easily broke when stepped on. Trail was easy to follow all the way to summit. It was a great day to be above tree line with Sunshine, Bobcat and Pemi. |
