| Comments: |
Four (Dan, Jeff, Sue & I) of us in snowshoes, followed three young post-holers up to the Hut, then put on crampons. Their postholes were frequent and often very deep. We covered most of the postholes both going up and down, but if the postholers come down the Ammo after doing Washington, they'll probably make the holes again. |
