 | Comments: |
A mix of just about everything gross today. Slick, wet ice above 2,500 feet, decent snow pack above 3,500 feet. The waterfall after the camp was carefully manageable but definitely sketchy. I wore spikes about half way up mt Garfield trail and across the ridge and took them off halfway down Gale river trail |
