We had planned on going up N.Moat via Moat Mountain Trail,but missed the turn off (no sign) so we just kept going and did the loop. The ice flows going up Red Ridge were continuous, and crampons would have been better than the microspikes we had on.However, we made the loop, coming back to the car just as daylight failed.A VERY good work-out today |
