 | Comments: |
Brought out a saw and was able to take care of many blowdowns, either completely removing them or limbing them enough for easier passage. Kicked countless medium sized branches out of the path. A blowdown group remains in the West Tecumseh col that needs an ax or a bigger saw than I had to remove. Numerous other blowdowns also remain too big for my saw, but the worst of it has been removed and whats left won’t add too much time to a normal hike.
As for the hike, it was a lovely cool day out with fine views in all directions. A late start equals a late summit with fewer people for a Saturday. |
