 | Comments: |
Barebooted the first half. Minor mud that was mostly avoidable. Unpacked snow came in quickly and made the most sense to switch right to snowshoes. Trail difficult to follow on the final steep section of Jerusalem. Completely unpacked snow on the Long Trail section to the summit, drifts became deep. |
