Lost and Found
Lost and Found: I lost a pink Camelbak 16oz bottle in a black bottle insulator. I noticed it was gone when we returned to the col between Willey and Field, I believe it is on the summit or just below the summit of Willey (headed towards Field). If you find it please e-mail me - I am willing to pay you to send it to me. We searched for a little while but wanted to get out before dusk so we moved on. 
 
Comments
Comments: Everything is in great shape. It was pretty brisk today so we set a fast pace and rarely stopped moving. We didn't see anyone today (guess that shouldn't be a surprise given the conditions)! We used microspikes car to car and I think that was the right option. There was some drifting between Field and Willey but not enough to warrant snowshoes in our opinion. Great day out with some incredibly clear views!
