 | Comments: |
Some bareboot postholes going up Ammo and coming down Jewell. On Crawford Path and Gulfside could have swapped to microspikes, but there were small drifts here and there so I stuck with the snowshoes. Outside of drifts, there's a hard crust above treeline that even light traction should have no problem biting into. Heading towards Jefferson past Jewell things were pretty bare, light traction would have been easier than snowshoes with all the rocks. |
