| Comments: |
Turned around after less than 3/4 of a mile. Had just running shoes and ice got so dicey that I didn't want to chance it, especially with the ridiculous grade. Extreme caution must be used if using just shoes for next month or so. I didn't want to chance it and pulled the plug so I am not sure how it is up higher. |
