Expected to have to break trail punching through crust then postholing all the way to west peak. Was pleasantly surprised by well packed out firm monorail that allowed us to stay in microspikes all day. Definite postholing for all of us at times any time we stepped off the monorail. Lots of very deep holes that may be there until spring! |
