 | Comments: |
Did not summit Fool Killer. A slow walk in on unbroken trail, starting at 9:00. We began bushwhack 60 degrees just short of the last stream crossing because of time constraints. Attempted bushwhack but we were into thick underbrush, a speep aseny and about 4 feet of fresh snow, up to our waists in some area, plus spruce traps waiting waiting for. Turned back at 2:00 and returned to parking lot at 5:00 |
