Comments
Comments: I started late, so it was not meant to be a summit hike. Just to get me outside and do some recon. People had done Avalon, but no one went ahead of me to A-Z. Avalon is in broken but snow is a bit fluffy so I would not say that it was packed. A-Z is indented but no one set foot on it as of 1:45 today (12.24) about 6" of fresh snow on top of ice, likely more snow as you get higher up. Snow shoes very recommended. Hoping someone will break out A-Z before me tomorrow.
