Mt Flora

Post by nedryarson »

Anyone been up Mt Flora from Berthoud recently? Wondering if flotation is necessary or if I can get by with microspikes...

I did Mt Flora last Saturday. Used micro spikes on the ascent in the morning starting ~7am. I switched to snowshoes on the descent as I was starting to do some minor post-holing around 10am. I definitely needed snowshoes for the final slope leading back to the trail head. Watched many people suffering climbing up that section without snowshoes.
