Comments
Comments: Out and back from Gale River trail. Smooth going to summit of Galehead - one or two people had been up prior to Todd and me. Passed a group of four who apparently had the same plan as us on the way down Galehead which made the thought of the rest of our plan more palatable. Broke out from the hut to North Twin; tough going. Passed the group of four just below the summit of S. Twin on our return which made the trip back down South Twin much easier than the trip up. trail is now well packed to the summit of North Twin.

No tracks up to North Twin from the North, so you better have some legs on ya and a big cup of ambition for breakfast if you want to tackle that one. I say go for it.
