| Comments: |
I got to the parking lot and fellow 576ers said hey Jeb what about looping over South Tripyramid. It would have been a long difficult day no matter what---so we did it. We were in and out of snowshoes approaching the South Slide. The slide was bare and steep and took lots of energy and just above the slide spikes were essential to the summit of South. I switched back to snowshoes and stayed in them until 1/2 mile from Livermore road. The ridge was well packed and the monorail pretty solid. Everywhere else was soft and choppy. I survived 2 headers. Long hard day but really the first spring day. Triliums and trout lillys are almost out. |
