 | Comments: |
Barebooted to 3200'. Stable monorail to the summit - trail crampons were most useful. There was about an inch of new snow from 3700' up. Raining down low, wind and flurries over 3000'. The water bars are doing their job, although there is some evidence of mud/slurry slides above 3000' from all the rain. Perfect hypothermia weather. Make sure you're prepared for it. |
