| Comments: |
We started in spikes. My companion switched to shoes before the split. She had televators, I do not. Took the right (not Trail) because the left did not look fully packed out. I was greatful for the switch backs. Very solid the whole way to both peaks. On the way back, decided to take the proper trail down to help firm it up. It was a little soft, so I switched to shoes as well. Quite a few post holes and very narrow. So narrow that I fell off and slid down the side for a bit of distance. In my opinion, I would have rather gone down the other way. |
