 | Comments: |
Trail is broken out, still a little soft, there were only two of us. After the five hour drive, we ran out of time, and frankly, energy to go over to S Weeks as originally planned. This route has not seen traffic in a while. Difficult ascent, the powdery snow often made it hard to get traction, but the descent was a breeze. We'll grab S Weeks from the Waumbek side another time. |
