Trail was well packed and narrow from base to green leaf hut. Certainly need micro spikes for many spots. I used K10 crampons the whole way and were certainly needed around summit. Some spots you def need to be cautious with. And a couple times an ice axe would have helped but not needed. Had a nice weather window around summit and ridge this morning. Saw a couple hikers on way down. Good convo with another solo hiker Ian. One other solo, 2 trail runners, and a group of 3. Pictured on Instagram and Twitter - Chrislb104 |
