 | Comments: |
We worked up the drainage, using a combination of woods roads and bushwhacks. We wrapped around Slope, and made our way up the gentle southwest slope. For the final push to the summit, we headed up from the west, just north of the highpoint. We followed our tracks for a short distance and began to run towards Round. We had to weave through some steep sections. To return, we crossed the drainage and then left our tracks, to cut the corner and hit them further south to avoid reclimb. Both highpoints are recognized.
In general there was 8 in to a foot of light powder over a mainly supportive base. |
