Comments
Comments: Great peak choice for being stuck in a cloud all day, a good mindless slog where the most exciting thing seeing waumbek on waumbek, idk if he actually likes the peak? Agressively barebooted to 2800' but kept them on down below 2000' on the descent to avoid dying on the patchy thick ice flows and wet slippery leaves on the steep section in the hardwoods. Pretty nice spikes conditions above 3000' and ridge is in amazing shape
