 | Comments: |
We did the loop counter-clockwise after being given advice from a returning hiker. There was a bit of ice under the loose snow going up and coming down - made for a few slips between the three of us. It was quite the journey down as well - a lot of time spent on our butts and doing splits. We had plenty of control, it was fun, but I could see someone getting hurt if a slip goes wrong! |
