I just hiked up to San Jacinto (above Idyllwild, CA) over the
Thanksgiving weekend. Pretty well-established trail, but plenty of ice
and snow. YakTrax provided enough traction to feel sure-footed. I'm not
sure how well they'd perform on a steep traverse. I like them because
other than improved traction, you're not even aware you have them on.
