 | Comments: |
This hike went much faster than I expected. Very quick accent of ski trails. Above treeline, thing are very icy. I recommend crampons. The carains were small and hard to spot. Route finding took as little though whenever tail diverged into the woods. The hardest thing about this hike was dealing with the wind chill. |
