Snowshoes bottom to top. I'm not good at snow amounts but there was plenty. On the top it reminds me of Mt Abraham in ME. Lots of places to make a mistake. Down climbed most of the top two drops on the way down and used some foliage creatively to keep from sliding. You could use crampons but there is loose drifting snow too. Happy to survived another MM. |
