| Water Crossing Notes: |
We found there were a few ways across the major crossing. 1. You could rock hop on some submerged rocks if you were 6'6" at the newer crossing. 2. You could encase your booted feet in trash bags and wade across the old crossing. Since most of us were not 6'6", most of us did the bags. Highly recommend this method. 3. A couple of people coming down when we were heading up took off their boots and barefooted across. Ouch! |

| Comments: |
Micro spikes were fine. Hillsounds a little better than Kahtoolas on some of the icy sections. The snow is melting really fast up north. |
