 | Comments: |
A light dusting of snow towards the top, but more challenging climbing the cone was the "black" ice on the rocks. I ended up putting my traction on to climb the last bit on the cone just so I didn't slip and tumble down. And some of the ice is covered with thin snow too making it a little more sketchy. No surprise it was pretty windy up there, but beautiful as always. Otherwise the trail is maybe a little tricky now just because of the leaf cover on the roots and rocks. |
