Hi everyone, I am an avid hiker trying to pick up some winter hiking/mountaineering skills. Recently I've gotten some mountaineering gears from a friend (you know, ice axe, crampons and what not), and am hoping to find a decent hike to practice using them, and the ADKs seem like a good place.
From what I've reserached, I've found some good places like Trap Dike and Gothics North Face, but those seem to be geared more toward technical ice climbing (and I don't think I should go there without experiences).
I also know that in the adk there are rules regarding wearing snowshoes when the snow is deep. I don't have snowshoes and am hoping to find a decently slopy trail that isn't used for snowshoing to practice using crampons and self-arrests. (I don't want to ruin anyone else's snowshoeing trail and the snow seems generally seems pretty deep right now)
Does any of you have a good recommendation? I plan on car camping and doing a 2-3 days long weekend thing this weekend or the next few weekends.
Thanks for the help! I apologize if this question has been addressed before but I couldn't find much info on it.
