I guess the peaks saw a few feet on Saturday after the storm, but not too many. The trail was fairly soft all the way up to East peak, but without post holes. Lots of drifting between peaks. Chimney bypassed was bypassed by everybody before Erinn and I; Erinn too the bypass bypass and I took the bypass to see how it was--it was fine. Saw three snowshoes on the return, five barebooters, and one guy in 10-pointers with two climbing axes.
If you hope to walk down East peak in a controlled manner, good luck. There really ain't no walking down that at this point; it's more-or-less slide and pray. |
