 | Comments: |
No one had been up the typical route since the most recent snowfall, so we laid a bare booted track (spikes went for a ride) for all to follow. Some decision making was to be had, lots of snowy brush and bent over limbs, some trees to push through, and although numerous, the blowdowns weren't terrible. On descent, went right and then wound our way left along a contour line - smooth sailing for the most part. If you're headed up, please take a new notebook and a pencil - I neglected to bring both to leave in the cannister. |
