 | Comments: |
Note: This report is from before the snow Saturday/Sunday. Main thing of note is that the slide has some pretty sketchy ice patches where a slip could potentially mean broken bones or worse. Took Brutus down, which is a much better option for going both up and down at this point. Brutus had much less ice than expected and while steep, isn't as exposed as the slide. |
