Just a quick hike up Starr King. Hard to beat the view today. Met a group of three heading over to South Weeks. I look forward to their report.
I wore my short snowshoes all the way up and down mostly to use my televators going up. I can go a bit faster with them than microspikes but the trail is well packed and frozen, just dont step off to the side without snowshoes. The trees and branches were all covered with a layer of snow/ice, heading down in the sun it was quite bright. |
