Comments
Comments: Summited Wonalancet with just shoe spikes. Temps around 40' softened the snow enough to start postholing on the ridge. Decided to don Micro Spikes for the decent on the Walden Trail. Good thing, could have used crampons and an axe. The Old Mast Rd. was like spring snow by now and should have brought my snowshoes.
