Are any of these two items needed for a CT thru hike? I leave for Denver tomorrow and I will be spending the week up there aclimating to the altitude. This will give me time to go to REI or any other outdoors department store to get last minute items. I am all set but, since there is an unusual amount of snow I would like to know if cramp ons or ice axes would be a must? Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
