 | Comments: |
Super packed out trail made an easy out/back to the summit. Only saw two people and they asked me if I was Maine Beefman lol (I'm not). The trail was easily walked in microspikes, I tried barebooting towards the end but there's too much ice with a thin layer of loose snow - fine with spikes but dicey without. |
