Broke trail through increasingly deep, loose powder. 4-6 down low, 10+ up high. The section through the glades was a hoot....not. Every step is a mystery. Wore shoes up, and 1/2 way down, then got sick of tripping over my own two feet and switched to spikes after I saw one other heading up in spikes. They don't work either on the hidden but bare rocks. Snowed enough to cover my tracks on the way down, but there should be a decent trail to follow now. At least you should be able to tell what's rock and what's not, and maybe even which way you are going to fall when you step on them. |
