I felt the kneed to chime in on this post. I had an acute injury 40 years ago to my left knee. Was never diagnosed properly, stayed active (basketball, volleyball, skiing) and eventually reached a point that the throbbing pain in the middle of the night was too much. After several different docs...

3 inches at the base area of cannon/ mittersill 1 inch twin mountain/ beaver brook/ little river road a solid 8-10 at crawford notch quite a lot of variation..looked more like an ice event on route 3..all the trees coated

These, the Katooluh mini crampons are what I use for the hard blue trail ice and they worked well on ice and frozen granular yesterday. Also have the g-10 cause..that is what is best sometimes. I like the way the katoolah ones go on quickly and cinch up well. Tried the aluminum ones they offer...

Funny, on cold ascents sometimes my feet get chilled. Can always count on them warming up in a few minutes on descent. I for sure generate plenty of heat on descent and end up in essentially the same layers I climbed in. The key for me is gearing up just before summit and getting jacket and...

North Face 4 Shadows 400 Gram fit spikes, MSRs, and G-10's with no issues waterproof and warm
