 | Comments: |
Trails were firm and packed mostly the whole way. Weather was abnormally warm, which made layering and delayering difficult. The second bushwhack up to Owl's Head Path was made more difficult by a butt-sledder that made the route like an icy luge. Only used spikes here, but wish I'd used snowshoes for the televators. |
