Comments
Comments: Lovely fall day once it warmed up and thus I started at 11am again. Pretty dry up North Twin then pretty icy and muddy on the summit cone of South Twin. Mostly dry with some wet slippery slabs on the descent down Twinway. Last day of Galehead Hut being open for the year. Kinda freelanced my way back to my car from the top of Gale River trail
