| Comments: |
A beautiful hike up to the top of the water falls, frozen over. At the end of the Fletcher Trail stayed right of the water falls and climbed the head wall to the height of land via herd path trail. Followed east bearing and steam bed to .10 of the summit. Temps -10 with wind chill at summit, no views. Some spruce tickets to push through, but overall at great hike and the way to get Flat. |
