 | Comments: |
Beautiful sunny day - 60s at altitude -- 70s when no breeze. HAZARD: the warm air condensed on just about every cold rock and ledge, making the entire route extremely slick -- not a good complement to the many steep grades and scrambles. The rocks should continue to warm and tomorrow will be a little cooler, so hopefully it won't be quite so bad. |
