 | Comments: |
The trail was well packed, at the steep area befor the slide to East Peak ice was beginning to show, har to predict after this weekend's warming and rain predicted. The alternative to the chimney was well covered and we were able to climb with snow shoes with the well-defined steps. On the decent some chose to put on crampons while others backed their way down usint the steps. Another excellent day in the forest. |
