 | Comments: |
Blueberry Ledge trail bare bootable but I used snowshoes to the ledges. Switched to crampons at ledges and had iceaxe in hand which was useful. The ledges had a good amout of exposed ice and some under drifted snow. Swithed back to snowshoes on Rollins. Form the ledges it had alot of drifting, some over foot which was unbroken. Diceys fron junction to Passaconaway was hard pack but used snowshoes for traction. Diceys after the steeps was bare bootable back to Ferncroft, which I did. |
