 | Comments: |
Above the spring, where the sign indicates one, the flows become more pronounced. I spent a lot of time seeking out rocks rather than play the on and off microspike game. I did in fact wear crampons for a short section of ice flow this morning due to cold temps keeping the ice very hard. A few hours later micros did the trick just fine. |
