Hi Bob-
ReplyDeleteHow were the snow and ice conditions along the trail this week? We are coming down this weekend and are wondering whether to bring cleats/Yaktrax for our boots. Thoughts?
-David
Dave so sorry I did not see this until now. There has not been a need for micro traction devices on Old Rag yet. That said, we are now in the time of year when conditions could warrant their use.
