Comments
Comments: Valley way was in great shape with small amount of unconsolidated snow. There was some heavy postholing just below and above tentsite. I joined Steve and John at Mt Adam's and proceeded on to Mt Jefferson.Navigation was tough at times with cairns not obvious and very limited visibility. We descended down Randolph path which was unbroken with deep snow. Great day for these peaks and glad to hike with others especially in these conditions.
