I broke trail to just before summit where I encountered fresh bear tracks, 3 sets. Snow was from 6 to 12 + inches deep. Wore snowshoes the entire hike. Didn't see anyone else until I was headed down. Snow was very sticky and on the descent gave way on most steep ledges, making for some interesting sliding. Warm tropical breeze at summit, temp inversion, very pleasant. Beautiful views of Presis, great day! |
