| Comments: |
There is a pretty stable monorail between Wildcat D and A, total mixed bag conditions I wore exospikes...Descending from Wildcat A to Carter Notch was almost untouched and therefore the 0.7-mile stretch I wish I carried snowshoes. Deep plungy stuff around noon. Could be stable a different time of day. Snow persisted about a mile from Carter Notch down the Wildcat River and then it was mud season running |
