Hi all.
I'm relatively new to mountain hiking in winter (not other seasons). I climbed Algonquin in the ADKs several winters ago with snowshoes and they did the trick as there was lots of snow then.
I'm considering going to the ADK high peaks next weekend and, although I think there isn't much snow (yet!), I suspect I should at least be prepared for some ice.
I was reading up on crampons but just read about stabilicers - didn't even know these things existed. Anyone care to tell me whether I should be prepared with crampons or will these suffice? Not sure what we'll be climbing yet. Of course, if it snows alot by then, then I suspect snowshoes would be good enough.
Thanks.
