| Comments: |
Started in snowshoes but it was tough with the snow sticking to them. Changed to microspikes which was better until we hit icy ledges of Mt. Surprise. Switch to Hillsounds and Sunshine tested her new Katoola crampons! Once past the ledges, snow is fluffy and conditions perfect for snowshoes (we used on the way down and cruised). Thank you, Bobcat, Sunshine, and Pemi for a weekend of adventure. |
