My friends put on their microspikes midway up the second rise on the Carter Ledge Trail and left them on first most of the ridge before approaching the summit of Chocorua. Didn't put them back on for the descent but definitely would've been useful. I barebooted up in sturdy mountaineering boots--had to scramble a bit, but it was doable if you don't mind playing in the snow. |
