 | Comments: |
This was do-able for us in spikes start to finish but we wished we'd brought crampons. Ice everywhere and very minimal snow. Spent lots of time getting up close and personal with the trees on either side of the trail. Saw one hiker who brought his ice axe for the chimney which he said was fun...we took the bypass. |
