 | Comments: |
Just before the lookout at 1.4 miles there's some nasty ice and just beyond it there's some unreal nasty ice. Had to bushwhack around them,
nothing but only full crampons/ice ax would work on the one just after the lookout.
Just be prepared to also get a lot of mud of your microspikes in lower section, but not worth taking them on/off. |
