We (Meet Up Scott and I) broke trail all day long. We built a pretty nice path for the next people to go up. We were both in Lightning Ascents all day. The drifts along the ridge line were also deep. The blazing along the ridge line is very good and it is not hard to follow the trail even though the drifts are bad. This hike took a long time, but we were able to get off the trail right before dark. I hope someone gets to enjoy our trail breaking before it snows a lot again. No one else on trail today. |
