 | Comments: |
Windy, 12° at summit. Snowshoes until last 2 miles. Mostly for televators going up. Post hole potential at higher elevations. Easier walking through barefoot churn with snowshoes. Crampons (K10s) last two miles due to intermittent ice. Microspikes would also work.
Fire tower door swinging freely so careful when climbing it doesn’t give you the smack down if windy. |
