 | Comments: |
The trail was muddy, wet and covered in leaves until about halfway up where the snow was starting to stick. There's a layer of ice under a couple of inches of snow on the way to, and past, the summit. It was one of those what-type-of-traction-is-actually-helpful? kind of days. I still don't know. |
