| Comments: |
saw 2 solos going up. saw 3 separate parties of 2-4 coming down. flurried on and off all day. no real sun to speak of. partial views. wind wasn't as bad as advertised. river crossing was slow but was in fact do able via walking the tree lying across the river on the wider crossing. micros up and down. no need for the snow shoes. there is ice under the fresh. inch of snow so traction is important. |
