We followed skidder roads as high as we could, then bushwhacked in 2-3 feet of powder to the summit, running into a few thick spruce sections. Below zero and snowing all day. We spooked 2 moose out of their beds and their tracks let us the final 400 feet right to the cannister. Thanks to Wally for braving the frigid temps and spruce traps. |
