Blackhead
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2014 1:41 am
Anyone up for trying Blackhead, sometime between December 21 and January 4? I'm off work the whole time. I have a couple of days where I have definite plans, but most of the time I could fit in a day trip.
I'm pretty comfortable on microspikes or snowshoes. I'm uneasy on crampons (but I have them and will bring them). I'm quite a slow hiker, so don't want to plan anything really ambitious. In-and-out on the one peak is what I really feel up to at the moment. If it looks doable with just spikes and snowshoes, my grown daughter will most likely want to tag along (on rented snowshoes, she doesn't have her own at the moment).
