 | Comments: |
With the exception of the south-facing final pitch of Whitten Woods South Peak (down to mud), there is still full snow cover. Saturday's snow is melting, but is still generally on top. Slushy conditions with this afternoon's above-freezing weather and light rain.
I was on the fence as to what gear to go with, so I opted for snowshoes. I found them to be ideal for traction and not sinking into the slush. Others were fine without, albeit probably working harder. |
