 | Comments: |
ICE and ICE , Valley way had ice bulges and ice, managed well in Hillsounds, carried full crampons that also could have been used in some spots, carried snow shoes--stayed on pack, Hillsounds car to car, . Plenty of bare rocks to pick around going up Osgood to Madison, blue ice on spots where a fuller crampon could be used. Windy and Cold day, great hike with some redlining, Great company,:) |
