 | Comments: |
We started about 8am and there was a monorail at the bottom that was borderline barebootable but by our descent, it was largely gone. Sloppy mess, traction is needed, especially on the descent. We took our spikes on/off throughout the day. Once you hit the first cairn, you can for sure take off your spikes. It started raining on us at the summit, stopped for a bit, and then started drizzling again. We hit pretty much all spring conditions it felt like.
Greenleaf Hut was open, Aubrey was out when we popped in the first time |
