 | Comments: |
What a day to finish my 48! Took the flume slide up to Flume for #48, what an adventure! Spikes were definitely necessary, but the snow helped our traction big time. There were a few spots that we bushwhacked around the 2nd/3rd ledge on the slide, if you take this route be sure to scan the trail side to side for alternate safe routes up where the ice flows get too crazy. |
