Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: 1st one easy, 2nd one was pretty sketch (7/10 on the sketch scale), 3rd one had a log that was helpful. Snow melt and rising water levels will make these even more tricky. I managed to stay dry.

Comments
Comments: KRT was postholed. I used micro-spikes only and had no problems, although I saw a few people wearing crampons. Snowshoes were not necessary today and I didn't even carry them. Snow is holding up nicely and isn't rotten as yet.
