|  |  |  | Comments: | A beautiful day for my first solo traverse. Temperature was ideal, so I enjoyed soaking my feet at Lakes. Wonderful to see Guy, Val and Tim, who were also hiking across the ridge. Some slick areas on rocks coming down Crawford Path. |  |  |  |  | Name: | Sunshine |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | loriinnes7380@gmail.com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2012-06-18 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
