 | Comments: |
I parked at the gate at Ravine Lodge Road around 9am and walked out to the trail head. I ascended on Gorge Brook Trail and it still had significant ice which requires microspikes. I managed to bareboot it all the way up, but I would not recommend doing it. I reached the summit around noon and ran into a couple that told me Carriage Road was mostly melted. I descended Carriage Road and went to check out South Peak. The South Peak Spur still had a lot of ice, but I still managed to bareboot up that with some tree hugging. I continued my descent down Carriage Road to Snapper Trail. Snapper Trail still had some ice on it, but it was much more manageable than Gorge Brook Trail. I made it back to my car by 2:30. |
