With the lack of snow in the area we set out for a nice afternoon hike on EQX. The conditions at the bottom were loose to packed rocks with a fresh coating of leaves.
Just below the spring (right hand turn) it started to get ICY!! We had a go at it for about ten more minutes then decided to call it and turn around. The whole trail was ICE!! We death marched down via staying to the side where we could get traction. It would've been fine with micro spikes and crampons, the only thing I didn't pack...doh!
