 | Comments: |
It was a great day for 'The Owl' - I always leave this peak for last, but it was enjoyable with waterproof footwear or a keen eye for concealed mud. There was a light dusting of snow cover the entire way. Spikes came in handy mostly for the water crossing and the Brutus BW. The wind was howling most of the day. |
