 | Comments: |
A partly cloudy day with some sun. Blustery wind didn't reach much of these peaks. Upper half of the trail, especially open, sometimes steep, ledges had many areas with refrozen water ice making footing tricky, especially going down Dickey. Microspikes highly recommended currently for some sections, although some managed without them. A mostly slow but enjoyable day with good friends, except for some tricky areas ascending Welch to avoid slippery ice.
Kestrel data: T=34F W=7+/-mph WC~24F but variable. |
