 | Comments: |
Best to go clockwise for this hike because the ledges heading up South Baldface have considerable ice. We used spikes but it was still challenging with the boulder scrambling-particularly if you're on the shorter side.
Going up South and between South and North, there were a few inches of snow/low drifts, and gaiters would have been great just to keep the snow out of our trail runners.
Water crossings were ok but water was definitely flowing at the two we crossed coming down. Feet will likely get wet at the second one but it's almost back to the lot so not really an issue for us. |
