Great day...unlimited visibility. Amazing how many of the peaks you can see from the North outlook. I wore snowshoes all the way. Microspikes would have worked as well, trail is consolidated enough that postholing isn't really an issue. Coming down from S. Hancock is like a luge run due to butt sledders. You'll definitely want some form of traction going up/down that one. |
