 | Comments: |
Clockwise loop - mostly very nicely packed, though side steps can posthole - I used microspikes up to the East Ledges, but put snowshoes on afterwards as the sun and above freezing temps were definitely softening the snow and I didn't want to add to the postholes. I left them on for the rest of the hike, though the snowshoes were overkill after summitting as the trail down was mostly in shade and thus firmer. |
