 | Comments: |
late start and evening plans limited my day..crystal clear blue sky..light winds..moderate temps..would have been a great above treeline day but not ready to solo that yet in the new knee phase..Excellent views from Tom..trail from about 3100 feet was quite slippery and spur trail had patches of real thing ice.. |
