 | Comments: |
Fresh tracks up Lambert Ridge were reinforced by a pair of hikers right behind me. Tracked out the top third of Ranger- the bottom parts had ski and bare-boot tracks. Still not enough snow to fill in rough spots along the top of Ranger. Only 2 or 3 tricky slabs to climb above the Ranger intersection. Well blazed throughout.
Great day! The fire tower door was not locked. |
