 | Comments: |
Beautiful sunny day on Sunday, monorail starts about a mile up Old Bridal Path, traction is not necessary untill past the cliff overlooks, I was able to make it up to greenleaf without putting my crampons on. Stretch from Greenleaf to Lafayette is beautiful, slushy, but easy to make stairs up. The ridge is pretty wet and slushy. Used my crampons on the way down Falling Waters, very slippery. All in all a beautiful day to be out on the ridge! |
