 | Comments: |
Very fine clear, if windy day with excellent friends. Only a few people, including a fellow with his dog in a carrying sack. 2-4" powder over ice or rack most of the way. We did well with microspikes, but crampons would not be overkill; did see a couple doing ok lower down with snowshoes.
Kestrel data: T= 1F W=32mph WC= -30F.
Not a better way to spend a day! |
