| Comments: |
I started just before 6:00 PM to qualify as a winter accent for peakbagging. Trails were very wet and sloppy due to all the rain. Baldface Circle to Circle Junction was very wet with water over blue ice. Slippery brook was packed, though I was punching through the very soft track in snowshoes. Eastman spur was unpacked and made for heavy/wet breaking. |
