Sunday morning run up Grandeur Peak and it really was grand. Difficult, especially up at the top, with lots of very deep snow.

It was actually fun today. If I had slipped it wouldn't have hurt because the snow was so soft and deep. I wear these things that slip over your shoes called micro spikes which give you really good traction and I also use trekking poles for balance.

Rob, did you go up the West face or did you go from Millcreek? I was considering heading up there this week one morning.

Interestingly enough, even though I lived in the Rocky Mountains until age 32, I never owned a pair of microspikes till I moved to South Carolina. Bought them for the Mt Mitchell Challenge.
