 | Comments: |
19 Mile super hard packed, and Carter Dome to Zeta Pass not as packed, but frozen, so micro spiked to the pass..then it was snowshoes rest of the day, with breaking through crust in many places..the recent snow and wind and rain then freeze left no trench more or less all the way from Zeta to the exit of the hike..also some open running water on Imp South made for some tricky snowshoeing..if you plan on going, bring some friends!! |
