 | Comments: |
Nice walk in on Rocky Branch Trail. Stairs Col trail was dry until 2500' alt. Near col with Davis Path was socked-in and freezing grizzle/light snow making conditions slippery. Some black ice on rocks but not enough to warrant MicroSpikes. Based on time and equipment, I turned around near the col and decided not to press on to the summit. Great to get out! |
