 | Comments: |
Started out with micro-spiked, but once the LT got steeper and the snow deeper I switched to snowshoes. Snowshoes had good grip on the steep sections packed by downhill skiers. I could not summit following the LT due to icy conditions. So I used the Profanity trail.
The Sunset ridge trail to the Toll Road had some deep postholes. |
