 | Comments: |
Helping a friend get back in the saddle after an injury, we took a quick hike up Nutting and Watatic. Wore spikes most of the time, but conditions are a real mixed bag. I'd recommend beater spikes if you have them. Of course, after today, a lot of the ice will be gone, as it was melting fast. A sunny, warm (50s), bluebird day on the summit, we hung out on the east peak for a while. Summit ledges are dry. Lots of people out! |
