Trail was tracked out earlier this week by Tim, Val, & Mark and then again yesterday by George. Big THANKS! The trail was easy to follow but the snow depth has put all the spruce right in the way. The trail could be called Crouching Tiger Ridge. If you have a bad back do not attempt this hike. There are many places I had to crawl. On the way back to D I opted to bushwack back to the Polecat switchback, from the col before the last climb up D. Great views today. Used snowshoes the whole day. No sign of anyone coming up to Wildcat Eh from the 19MB side. |
