Thanks to bikehikeskifish for breaking trail.
After the freshly cut small blowdown, the trail was blown in and we floundered around a bit. Follow our trail to the left or if our trail is gone, look to the left. We found the route to the left around the steep ledge and all 5 of us climbed to the top using snowshoes. 4 used snowshoes coming down and one used crampons. It was a stellar day. |
