 | Comments: |
A nice prestorm hike of this peak. Blackpond herdpath (middle) was well trodden and in good shape. Brutus was a bit trickier to follow but found the way. Chose to descend via the slide which had stretches of thick ice in several areas. Highly recommend avoiding the slide by ascending/descending via Brutus.A huge thanks to the Forest Service worker that checked in on my wife in the lot as i was hiking. Thanks!! |
