nkan02	never took out spikes 2012-10-22 09:30:22 But we descended from Casco saddle and remaining snow was soft by then. Ridge scramble was fun (albeit short), road walking - not so much
BobbyFinn	Spikes 2012-10-22 14:08:20 We weren't on the 13ers.com route - we went up the face on climber’s right side after we got tired of side-hilling to the Casco-Frasco saddle. We got into a snow-covered rocky area where the spikes helped get traction on the rock under the snow.
