 | Comments: |
Bare booted until the stream crossing. Spikes until changing to snowshoes after the ice flow before the climb to the ridge. Shoes helped on the ridge although some people did it with spikes. Trail not packed south of South Kinsman. Less snow on the descent. A warm day with mud at the walk out reminding us that spring is almost here. A beautiful sunny blue sky day on top ! |
