Ammo is in good shape with a nice pack. Enough snow that I opted for snowshoes, though I might've switched to spikes if I had descended that way. Easy trip up Monroe. Good traction was a welcome change for me from years past. A set or two of tracks over to Washington were way to follow and the Cog was a breeze. Super steep above Jacob's ladder requires care as usual. Snowshoes for me the whole day. This will all be mute by tomorrow with the super warm temps, but everything's broken! |
