 | Comments: |
Very wet clotting into snowshoes on the way up until last 3rd of Fishin Jimmy. Broke trail all 5 miles in. All trails noted are very snowshoe-good. Do NOT recommend micro's, etc. Only a couple places on Fishin' Jimmy to cling to trees, all the rest I did with snowshoes and powdertails. Latter likely not needed now trail is well broke in. Saw a Gridder at South, otherwise no one other than the Hut. Had a long hot meal stop there. Thanks as ever AMC. |
