 | Comments: |
It starts with inch or two of new snow over dirt and rocks with a lot of running water. I put microspikes on at the ladders which are covered with both new and older snow but are otherwise relatively easy to navigate. It's mostly frozen above the ladders with occasional sections of monorail which was very solid today. Sunny on top but no views for me. Snow starting sticking to my spikes on the way down and it was much better when I took them off below the ladders. |
