Hey all, I'm thinking about doing an overnight solo trip up Mount Marcy this weekend. I'm still doing my research but I figured I should ask for some advice or thoughts.
I have not hiked in the adirondacks before, but I hiked in the Hudson Valley, Catskills and Maine. And I have backpacked for up to a week at a time. However I have no experience hiking in icy or snowy conditions. I have not used microspikes or crampons before and I would still need to buy some and a bear canister
Should I avoid doing this trip until I have more experience in these conditions? Or do you think it's still too early for the weather to have any significant impact? I have been seeing a bunch of pictures with snow on the mountains
Thanks in advance!
