 | Comments: |
The CVR was nice and firm from the overnight re-freeze. The AT had a rough snowshoe track leading to the campsite where they ended. From there up the snow was mostly boilerplate. Route finding was a little troublesome due to the snow depth (gotta love those white blazes). By afternoon, the sun had warmed the snow on the SW facing slopes of Crocker so that I was sinking in about a foot. The CVR coming out was a hot, wet mess. |
