 | Comments: |
Ammo was well packed until it breaks the trees, almost to the hut. Snow still somewhat firm on the way up, but very soft coming down Washington. Climbing Monroe was solid, but the section between the first shoulder and the summit is bare ground. Ammo very soft descending until entering the trees, then it was still very firm. Sunscreen necessary today, no face masks. |
