This hike was a solo gear testing session in preparation for the Spine Winter 2023. The clear, sunny weather provided excellent visibility, and the moderate wind added a realistic challenge for testing my gear.
I focused on evaluating my kit, including the snow spikes, which performed well on the terrain. During a break, I used the Jetboil to prepare a meal, ensuring my cooking setup is reliable under winter conditions.
Overall, this was a productive and enjoyable session that confirmed the readiness of my gear for the upcoming race.
