 | Comments: |
On Mount Robert's Trail, traction needed to get up packed snow to Mount Roberts, I used microspikes, but hikers may get by with yaktrax. Only one part involved a rocky part that was solid ice.
Coming down the other trails listed, I was okay with microspikes, but there were parts where I should have probably been using snowshoes since I was post holing. This was only on parts where tracks split between the actual trail and those who bee lined down the switchbacks. |
