| This is some good info...
To be honest the little patches of ice are what concerned me. I know that 3-6 inches of snow with a freeze and thaw cycle could - on a open slab- turn into the trail into a skating rink.
- MJ where did you get the beta about a hiker and the snow? Is that from an ADK website?
- Andy at 3.3. miles rt and 3000 feet of climbing giant is plenty of trip for a short november day.
With the advice here I'm going to consider phelps in more detail...doesn't seem like it has too many areas prone to icing.
The snow I could care less about- i have gaiters and great boots so as long as I'm not sinking up past my calfs on every step i'm ok. |
