 | Comments: |
One set of tracks went about 1/3 of the way up, otherwise it is hard to tell if anyone has been there this month. Canister on SW peak (with sign/prosthetic trunk) was frozen shut. Did not find a jar on the higher NE peak. Lots of orange flagging along the route. I would normally remove what I find, but I left it in place. Lots of Spruce traps to be wary of. |
