 | Comments: |
A more perfect day to try a slide you couldn’t find! Scaur Ridge, Tripyramid Trail and Livermore Road were dry and snow free, with minimal mud that was easily hopped over. Zero snow or ice on either North or South Slide, some stable and unstable monorail on part of the descent and into the col from South to Middle, in the col from Middle to North, and then the longest stretch from North to just before the junction with Scaur Ridge Trail. We donned our rock spikes for these sections, which worked well. I should have opted for my waterproof socks, as by the time we made it to Scaur Ridge junction our trail runners were soaked through and through, and a sock change with plastic bags was necessary. |
