 | Comments: |
Great solo day. Microspikes from the truck to the top of the first steeps. Snowshoes the rest of the trip. MSRs had good purchase on the steeps, to include up and down the chimney by-pass. ~2" new snow plus 2-12" drifting snow on the ridge. Glissading was very fast. I had to break almost the entire way down the big steep. Be careful:) |
