Doesnt get much better than this. Trail is firm and mostly post hole free. Used micro spikes car to car but crampons going up North would have been easier. Had a great encounter with a gray jay. Never seen one alone before this, they seem to come in pairs or more. Blue sky, great views and low wind. Had the good fortune to meet a beautiful shepard named Grete who was out walking Ken. Good to meet both of you! Nice to put faces to some of the names we see here.... |
