Started solo but found Charlie making his way up and glad to have someone to hike with. To table rock trail, upper, it was like a highway of loose packed snow but after we broke out trail to East Peak. Coming down West Peak was interesting a couple of times, steep with a lot of snow,fun going down! Going up East Peak for half a mile was the easiest I've done, maybe an inch of crusty ice, made it easy to ascend! Snowshoes all the way no thought of anything else. Great Day! |
