 | Comments: |
i walked west on orange road which had good supportive snow to a point north of melvin and bushwhacked up on a direct line to the summit. some unsupportive snow down into a small saddle then better snow on the ascent to the summit. some hobble and spruce in the saddle then open all the way to the summit area which is basically a large cut. descended in my tracks punching in more often than on the way up. |
