Barebooted for the first half mile or so and then switched to spikes for a mix of ice, mud, and running water. Shortly after, put on the snowshoes- it was soft and lumpy. Still some ice is a few spots but mostly snow. Snowshoes are needed for sure, until the rocks. We put our spikes back on and went to the top. And then all of that in reverse! It was snowing at the top but we managed to get a few beautiful views while ascending. Thank you, Aaron, for braving the April conditions with me! |
