 | Comments: |
The original plan was to do the White-Pass loop, but Rollins was a maze of footprints in all directions with no blazes. We made it about a third of the way to Dicey before begrudgingly turning around to head back down the ledges.
Spikes up blueberry in the morning, Snowshoes on Rollins. Spikes back down ledges, then snowshoes to the car. Frustrating hike, but great weather. |
