 | Comments: |
Somewhere 1/4 mile above the junction for the mizpah hut the crawford path becomes a bushwack through a maze of spruce lean-ins and crawl throughs. We stayed to the right and followed the most consolidated track to Pierce. From Pierce to Ike it opens up and we followed our own track to the summit of Eisenhower. Increasing winds prevented us from going all the way to Monroe today. |
