 | Comments: |
Trail up to Greenleaf hut and to the alpine zone sign was ok with microspikes. Above the alpine zone sign there were two sketchy spots where I benefited from crampons and axe.
There was a man who came up almost to the summit without traction. When he decided to turn back, he learned hard way that going down without traction was even harder than going up. Please keep eyes on these people. |
