Comments
Comments: Trail was very icy from lot up to summit of major. Lots was avoidable but I used my lightest traction (YakTrak Diamond spikes) and they were great all day. Some melting during the day but still lots of icy rocks. Lefty areas were slow going but doable. Pretty nice day overall!
Snow coming so mostly useless information unless you are out early tomorrow.
