| Comments: |
tough conditions on otherwise moderate and pretty trail. first cold day after a long warm spell. Many postholes from hikers on recent warm days, which were a nuisance. also ice, bare and sometimes wet rock. Microspikes or Hillsounds worked best today, not sure there was a perfect tool. |
