I promise tonight not to rant and rave about barebooters trying complete as Rocket21 says their "posthole grid." Trails to the hut and summit of North were actually well packed by SNOWSHOES and the trail was very pleasant. Unfortunately between North and South Kinsman was a different story. Not many people had gone across and the barebooters had a left an ankle turning mess for everyone else. We smoothed it out so its not as bad now. (Dudes and Dudesses snowshoes are on sale right now......splurge....the rest of us will thank you but you will thank yourself the most.)
Terrific views today and given the difficult conditions this weekend I feel fortunate to have climbed 4 peaks. 35/48 SSW. |
