The Wittenberg Mountain, elevation gain 3000 feet over 4.95 miles,
snow depth 36-45 inches, weather- abt 25F at base, 15F at summit with
unknown wind, but minimum of 10mph, climb two iced, three tiered waterfalls=

not vertical, abt 65 degree slope overall, a drop of 70 feet from top of
each. Sunrise is 7:24, sunset is 4:40pm, but darkness is early because
mountains to the west crunch the sunset to abt 3:30pm. Roundtrip is 10
miles.

What should I carry, footwear, snowshoes, etc. as an ultralight trekker
would do it given the above?

Thanks for your help. It should be interesting and, hopefully, fun. Marc
