Pine Bend Brook is packed tight, wore micro spikes the entire way. Holy blow downs!! It looks like a bomb went off once you cross the last water, up higher. Most are hike over smaller ones but there are several that you have to make your way around....be prepared to squeaze in between small spruce to manuever around. No crossings are bridged. There are huge ice balls on the ridge, makes the path a little iffy to follow but there isn't too far astray you can go up there!
Happy New Year!!

I was planning to do this hike very soon. (SAT.) Thanks for the report.

You should be golden to skip the snowshoes! Micro spikes should be fine! You're welcome!
