 | Comments: |
Due to recent leaves dropping, they are hiding some pretty significant holes down low. Be careful, and try to stick to the rocks. A few touch steeps with ice around 4,200'. I did not use the traction I brought since the sections were so short. Only very minimal snow starting upwards of 4,000'. |
