Great day for #44 of my winter list. Crawford is in great shape. The ridge to Eisenhower is drifted and new snow was falling today on the way back. Could use some low winds and snow shoe love. Ice on the ascent to Eisenhower is a little tricky without the right equipment. Thanks to the group of 12 for taking me in for a while and it was great to meet everyone today. |
