 | Comments: |
Great day on all these peaks! Still some significant ice/snow on Wildcat C. Descent from A into the notch was fine, but was happy to have microspikes. Descent from Hight was more difficult but spikes were very adequate. Descent from North Carter was another story and most of us used crampons on two steep pitches. There was literally ONE small flow left on stoney brook that we used spikes on, but that was probably not necessary |
