A beautiful, windy day. Up on Durand Ridge the wind was sustained at 40mph with 75-80 mph gusts. -3 deg with -63 windchill. Cover up.
Got blown over a few times,postholed to the waist a few times. It was very challenging going over the knife edge with the high winds. Had to stop every few hundred feet behind large rocks to catch our breath. Once on on the north side of the mountain the majority of the wind was blocked. Well worth the hike and can't wait to do it again. |
