| Comments: |
Road walk was packed by snowmobiles. Used pulks for road walk plus about 0.7 miles up firewardens tail. Encountered deep snow for most of day 1 to 2 feet and more in drifts on ridge. A long day with the Krazies but we persevered and finished in about 12 hours. Exhaustion, it’s still a thing. |
