 | Comments: |
We started from 7 Dwarfs and barebooted until about 3600 feet where we put on microspikes. We took the spikes off briefly from the summit of South Twin to a bit down the trail. We kept the spikes on until about 3100 feet on Gale River Trail. Monorail is mostly stable but pretty pointy in places, especially on the ascent to South Twin. Little River crossing is fine just a bit upriver from the usual crossing. All other crossings were easy rock hops. |
