Late start at 10am up 19 mile brook, like others said sheet of ice until about the intersection with carter dome trail. At the steep part we switched to snowshoes which was nice for the unpacked powder and kept them on for the rest of the day. Stopped in at the hut to drop some gear and then headed over to Wildcat A/D. Solid conditions thanks to others earlier that day. Talked to a group that had gone up the south end of wildcat ridge trail, really curious how their hike finished as they were headed down 19 mile and were pretty slow. We headed back to the hut and finished in headlamps around 5pm.
Sunday morning up to Carter Dome, solid conditions up with good grip using snowshoes. Over to mt height was completely post holed but lose snow so we fixed it up. And then back down Carter dome trail to 19 mile. |
