[pct-l] Self Arrest - Instep Crampons

[dnielsen at djmurphycompany.com]

Are the San Jacinto and specifically Fuller Ridge, the 1st location that
foot traction devices and self arrest tool might be needed?

 

I plan to carry an old pair of Swiss 4 spike instep crampons and a Black
Diamond Whippet in lieu of ice axe.

 

It is understood that checking weather conditions and snow pack prior to
entering the San Jacinto is a prerequisite.
