Unreal day above the trees! All trails were great with Hillsounds minus Airline to the summit of Adams, that was a bit sketchy but could have mostly been due to my crippling fear of heights (ice made the spikes feel somewhat unstable). Descended Lowe's to Gulfside and over to an unplanned ascent of Madison via Osgood; good trail vibes meeting David who partnered up with me when I confessed some solo nervousness. Beautiful weather to boot! (Oh David, I reached my car at 2:48. Ripped it, bud!) |
