| Comments: |
Brook Trail had some wet spots and a bit of icy snow near Link trail. Snow over to Straightback but was easily traversed. One icy section just before summit. Caution needed but doable without traction. Reversed and went to Major. From the Link Trail jct. to Major was free of snow. The main trail had some slippery (ice and snow) sections on the top. Used microspikes here but most were descending other trails. Use caution here!
Great day and views from both peaks. |
