 | Comments: |
Attempted to summit Shaw and Black Snout, but was turned back at about 2k feet due to large drifts. It looks as though someone had broken trail several days ago, but their work had long been covered over with snow. I broke trail today, and made sure to pat it down the best I could, in order to make the next hikers job easier than mine had been. |
