| Comments: |
Microspikes start to finish but I carried snowshoes. Narrow track between Field and Willey. If you stepped off you would posthole over your knee. With warm temps snowshoes would be a good idea. Lots of butt sliding has been done on Avalon and A-Z Tr. Some ice showing but the smooth ramp made for a quick descent. A-Z Tr to Zealand has been traveled by at least 4 others. A little lat on this post but looks to be the most recent.
