 | Comments: |
No issues with water on Moriah. Barebooted the first 2 miles. Put on spikes around Mt Surprise. Some large patches of ice usually on one of the slabs, mixed with snow patches. Spikes handled it well. Snow covered trail as you got closer to the summit. Solid monorail in some areas and crumbling in others. Rain started at 2PM so trail conditions will likely have changed. Great day to get Moriah.
