Crawford path, Jackson Webster tr, mt Jackson tr
Rock spikes start to finish. Any ice flows were well softened by the time I arrived, so weren't a problem. Even the ones going up the back of Jackson and coming off the other side. The track between Pierce abs Jackson held up beautifully all day, but a step off on either side meant a posthole to the knee. Carried the snowshoes, but didn't need them. LOTS of ice coming off Jackson, so a good freeze will mean sharper traction. A truly gorgeous day up there though. ? |
