 | Comments: |
Able to microspike throughout. Some hard ice in places. negotiated with care. Got into the wind approaching the hut. Wind on our back to summit. In your face on the way back to hut. Some shelterd places to look at view. Probably 30-40 Steady but not pushing you around. Summits in and out of clouds. Good day to check out your face gear. Thought about Adams, but it looked to far for these conditions. Good and safe day out. |
