Beautiful day on the Moats! It wasn't too busy and the views were great. There were only trace amounts of ice going all the way to Middle Moat, but we encountered several slabs covered in black ice descending Middle Moat. The trail up to North Moat was a little better but it is definitely worth bringing microspikes just in case. |
