We got a late start but it was planned knowing sunset was just after 8pm. Pretty perfect weather day. Made good time on the flats and were told to go up south slide as north was getting soft… so we did and we met some avoidable ice closer to the top. Then the messy monorail on the ridge wasn’t as bad as other trails right now and shouldn’t last too much longer. Then no snow heading down north but wow the erosion is terrible on both slides. So sad to see. Got to the dip in the north side trail in the loop where in the summer has a dey river bed that I always wonder about..,, is a massive river now! The flat area that looks great for camping was under at least 3’ of water! It was nuts!!! Then coming back down we swear the water level had raised a little as move running water on trail. Made it out before sunset and another 2 peaks down for the day :) |
