Great day to get these two. Cloudy with a bit of sun popping out now and then. No snow or ice up to top of ledges. Once on Rollins some small Ice patches but you could easily avoid them and still stay on trail. A bit more ice, some monorail and some unstable monorail up until the second PUD. After that nothing the rest of the way except some mud and water on trail. Some might want spikes but you won’t need them for long. I’d save the Lb but your comfort is what matters.
