There was a lot of rain Friday night (over an inch, I believe). we used microspikes the entire way to go through mud at bottom, slushy snow mud in the middle. All of this turned to snow before the Wildcat cutoff...a little more snow and snowshoes might have been swapped out. Hut was at capacity. Washington clicked off a 121mph gust Saturday night. Was crazy windy..rattling the bunk houses.
Decent on Sunday was great...sun and no wind once we crossed the ridge....still muddy :) |
