 | Comments: |
Put away the “beater†spikes and take your sharp Hillsounds (maybe even crampons for the summit cone scramble). I would not have been able to ascend or descend the cone safely today with beater spikes or no traction. The entire trail is made up of ice flows with a thin layer of snow, in most places. Easy to manage with sharp spikes. |
