| Comments: |
Helle, Georg the dogs and I had a great day as warm temperatures returned to the Whites. Shorts and T-shirts for much of the hike - as we followed Wolfgang's footprints (and noticed his mark on the trail!!).
Icy conditions from around 3,000 ft. Initially, intermittent - then increasingly solid towards the summit - but melting fast.
Impressive drifts on the open section on Signal Ridge.
Great to run into Mike (aka "Bobcat") and Pemi on the way down. |
