 | Comments: |
Spikes start to finish after a dusting of snow overnight. Rain the day before undermined some of the firm track but it had mostly frozen back up. Frozen postholes from someone who hiked on Monday. 2 stream crossings still crossable on some ice and rocks, though 1 hiker fell through a section of thin ice. No tracks up Willey via the ladder route.
Great day to be out with lots of sun and prime views from Avalon and Willey (#570) - only clouded up in the afternoon. Fun hike with Kathy and Eva |
