Comments
Comments: Was a good day and a good trail.
I bare booted until I hit the start of the north slide, then put on snow shoes and kept those on until the south peak. Probably could have worn them all day in hindsight, but I did wear full crampons coming down from south and was very happy to have them.

Only a lone group of three from Quebec on the trails going counter clockwise to my clockwise.

It's still winter out there! Enjoy before it melts.
