 | Comments: |
It was dealer's choice for traction. I started with my Hillsounds and carried my snowshoes since I felt I would need them on the Willey Range Trail. Since I started early the trail was pretty solid. On the Willey Range Trail the snow was clumping on my spikes however it was easy to hit off with my poles. If I started later snowshoes would have been needed. Lots of melting was going on. Many snow bombs littered the trail. Ice was falling off the trees especially on the ascent to Mt. Willey. On my way back to Field I could not see my tracks as the trail was full of ice that had fallen from the trees. |
