 | Comments: |
Great day out in the sun. Some balling under the MicroSpikes and Hillsounds between the two summits in sun-softened powder. Please get outside this week while the lovely weather lasts, the snow is still hard above 2,500'. No snowshoes or full crampons needed. At least one of our fellow parkers came out some other way than where parked; I hope she marched south right over Mt Wolf. |
