Used microspikes up to the the last stream crossing up high. Snowshoes needed from here on. Lost the trail for a little bit before the junction with the Carter-Moriah trail. From here on I was able to follow the trail for the most part but it was slow going, wet and lot of trees blocking the way. At the last set of ledges I found a cairn and here is where - made many attempts to find my way. After an hour or so I finally noticed a blaze but was unable to follow the trail. Decided it would be best to turn back seeing that I was tired, soaking wet and not to mention I lost my water bottle and sandwich.
Anyone attempting to follow my tracks take the track to the left at the last set of ledges just below the summit...hot day so maybe they might not even be there in a few days. |
