| Comments: |
The trail is well packed and in good condition. I used spikes from the car to the base of Brutus. Then switched to Hillsound Pro for the climb up & down. Others on the trail used snowshoes for this part but they were having trouble on the steeps coming down. Either way there are a lot of spots you are scraping rocks or dirt. |
