Despite the forecast for afternoon thunderstorms we decided to take a chance and do this traverse so son#2 could finish his 48 today. It turned out to be a lovely day with splendid views from Guyot and South Twin. 3 of the 4 sons have now finished their 48!One more to go. One granddaughter met us on North T, along with a cousin and 2 friends, all first timers as well. For three of them their first 4000 footer so a great day was had by all. Congrats, Brian. Glad I was able to do it all with you.
