 | Comments: |
I wore MSR Lightning Ascent snowshoes. It's crampons were very helpful on the steep ice.
If I didn't have those I would have used Hillsound Trail Crampton Pro. Some the steep icy
spots may be too much for normal microspikes.
If you're looking to do Hedgehog, I would just wait a couple weeks. |
