 | Comments: |
I snowshoed which was fine except at the ladder. Crampons would have been perfect for the whole trip. Micro spikes would probably be fine except not quite enough at the ladder. Ladder is very icy. I shoed up along the side and butt slide down (not recommended) at ladder. Otherwise trail was great. Snow was on the way but had not started before we finished. |
