 | Comments: |
The road has bare spots and was unpleasently slushy by day's end. The flat part of signal ridge is in great shape, very easy, I chose microspikes but probably could have barebooted. The 3 miles of incline was perfect sticky lumpy snow - not slushy - I switched to snowshoes which made it much easier. I only saw one posthole. I also saw a mink by the observation tower. |
