Polecat a quick ascent with nice footing on frozen surface with spots of ice. Cut off below D on ascent ..bushwack there a little thick without snow..and there is NO SNOW of any consequence on this route at present..just a flurries dusting ..Some patchy stretches of blue ice along the way all mud frozen which made for good footing...we barebooted most of the way to A but had the spikes on for return trip which made travel quicker. Great peakaboo views to Presis and Wild River area. Windy in spots but not cold... We went over D on the way out and lingered for a bit on the platform soaking in the great views from there. Great day out..congrats to Valerie for finishing Round 5 |
