 | Comments: |
about 3-5" of fresh powder had gotten very sticky by the timme we started ascending. Some icy patches where the water was running over rocks in the trail up above were already crumbling in the warmer temperature. Microspikes were fine but got ice-balls constantly that had to be kicked off. This is a great trail that we've never done before; very few people. |
