 | Comments: |
The trail started as packed powder and ice, with complete snow coverage. Light traction was perfect. About 0.2 shy of the summit, all tracks stopped. I continued in about 6in. of unpacked powder to the top, where the views are very nice. There were some tricky scrambles, but all were doable with light traction.
This hike finished the VT 3000 footers for me. |
