| Comments: |
Late start due to issues with vehicle. Black Pond Bushwack in good shape. Two in front of me were ice-climbers, went north of slide (I had crampons, couldn't make slide, traverse to their in trees/north-of-slide bushwack ... they turned back. I made summit late. Likely lost vape in buttslide down bushwack so likely never see again. Would love to get crampon back. to the north on main slide was where I lost it ... My last for a solo winter 48 so I sacrificed gear for closure ... thanks to whoever left cashews and water on lincoln woods trail late that night. |
