 | Comments: |
This was plan C. Plan B was Osceola's but Greeley Pond parking lot not plowed since last storm. One or two sets of wheels had been in but didn't want to risk getting stuck in plow windrow. Spikes to KRT. Recent snow packed to Bald Peak spur. Stepped on fresh snow up to KRT from a few inches to knee deep blown in drifts. KRT choppy to North. Put on snowshoes just past north. KRT had seen traffic today. Fresh snow and blown in snow from north to south and KRT monorail fairly soft. Wore snowshoes back to Bald Peak Spur and spikes to car. Blue skies, 3 - 33 degrees, and occasional wind. The arm on the cairn at south has fallen off : < { |
