Ah, the awesome Adirondacks!

that upper cirque looks pretty cool, how was the snow?

[@PureAdirondacks]

Definitely. Snow was good on this particular day in 2021. Solid base underneath and a fresh dusting of snow on top at higher elevation.

Would this be possible with nnnbc bindings and stiff leather boots (alaska alpinas)? This is definitely on my to do list!

[@PureAdirondacks]

Hi Meira - A lot of the trail isn't that steep, but it comes down to your confidence in descending a narrow path. The majority of the trip is just the hiking trail, so you need to be able to maneuver in tight spaces and be able to speed check.

Did you try it on your NNN-BC setup? I have BCX Transnordic boots and Madsush annum skis. I've been wondering how I would manage.
