 | Comments: |
Whole loop was fairly well packed with very little exposed rock - snowhoed the entire thing. Spring snow in the lower elevations, changing to packed powder. Encountered very little ice. Some postholes from barebooters. Broke out the short spur to Shining Rock - pretty neat right now with a big ice bulge. |
