The temps started to rise and what happens is the snow of course gets sticky. This means the crampons ,on the bottom of the snowshoe bindings ,get full of snow and form a nice ball under your foot. Its like dragging five pounds of extra weight along and results in the snowshoe sliding around. So you have to "bare boot it" as we say. Lucky for us we were on the way down so we only had about a mile of bare bootin.
