 | Comments: |
Valley Way is well packed until the tent site area..above this, the barebooters had created a mess in the AM that was a bit smoother on the descent in the PM.. wore snowshoes door to door.. probably would have been easier to switch to micros for both descents off the summit cones... but I would have switched back to snowshoes to get thru the posthole haven between the Hut and tentsite |
