| Comments: |
Very hard-packed trail, needing only traction. I can't honestly say bare-booting would be ok; some traction is really needed, given the icy nature to some steeper parts, and trying to bare-boot the trail in its present condition would be foolish. I found myself wishing for deeper points on my microspikes on the descent of those places. |
