 | Comments: |
A dusting of snow begins about a mile in. The climb up to Signal Ridge has a half inch to inch of new snow. Tedious stepping with slick leaves in the beginning. Put on microspikes before Signal Ridge but really didn't need them - no ice. Kept them on to summit and back to Ridge. No issues going down without traction. Wind was whipping through the trees going up to Signal Ridge but was minimal across ridge. No views at top but started to clear up when going down. Quite a few people out today! |
