 | Comments: |
The Long Trail was fairly easy to follow down low but became quite confusing higher up due to all the ski trails crisscrossing the path. I was glad we hired a guide from Sunrise Mountain Guides to navigate the confusing terrain. Profanity trail was drifted which made the uphill climb a bit of a challenge but it was easy to follow. The ridge to the Chin was nothing but rime ice and rocks. We actually found the summit marker. Fun day with John C and our guide Greg. |
