 | Comments: |
Slow going due to wet conditions but everything else went well. Did not know what to expect with ice but only put spikes on once for a short
stretch. Ledge going up the east peak was dry. Great 360 views. Started
seeing more hikers later in the morning. Good start to 2014 and finishing
NE 100. |
