 | Comments: |
Up to the stonewall was damp in places with plenty of slippery leaves. Wet ledge above there, becoming icy around 1,700 feet in elevation. Tricky to judge what was black ice vs. wet ledge. I was able to carefully pick my way up/down the ledges, but others may prefer some form of light traction (Microspikes would be a detriment, but something like a Stabilicer would be helpful). Sun will help to dry things up hopefully.
Crisp morning with partly sunny skies and temperatures in the low to mid 30s. |
