We used snowshoes most of the way today though some barebooted without much trouble to the hut. Snow depths varied ..deepest along and above the agonies I would guess. Steady NE wind of 25-30 with gusts did not have us lingering at the summits though we found some sunny and sheltered spots. Drifted snow across the ridge with amazing and far reaching views.. Falling Waters a beautiful snowshoe trek down with a few sticky spots that were in the sun..Great day out!!! |
