Really needed all of the above gear wise today. Snow on Hurricane, little on carriage until 3700 when it turned to bulletproof packed snow. Just ice up top. Once we got over the backside it was snowshoe territory, especially down Asquam with the soft snow on top of a literal stream. That one was not an april trail... and I knew that but wanted to prove it to myself. So if you want a challenge go for it! Definitely bruised from going up and over so many blowdowns. Make sure you bring the rock spikes instead of the nice ones for the way up though... |
