Comments
Comments: Wore spikes the entire time, but it would have been better to have snow snowshoes going up North Peak and across to South Peak. Trail was soft and messy from falling snow/ice from trees and bare booters by mid-day. Post-holing and spruce traps are easy to fall into between the peaks. Highly recommend butt sliding down South Peak.
