 | Comments: |
A good day to head up Waumbek today. Winter like conditions with soft snow. Snowballing was an issue with both my spikes and shoes. I used spikes to the summit and navigated some post holing. I probably could have spiked back but I opted for shoes. Either would be fin on this trail as it's pretty solid. I fell more for getting tangled in my own feet than for post holes. |
