 | Comments: |
Didn't encounter many postholes so thank you all for wearing snowshoes where needed.
Pete and I were first up Carter-Moriah from the hut. Light dusting overnight over tracks from the day before. Snowshoes worked fine on the steeps to the dome. Amazing views of the Presi range with no wind and bluebird skies. Some tight section of branches meant a lot of bending and/or scrambling beneath. Trail was hard to follow in places on Carter Dome and South Carter but clear enough to wing it and connect back. Decent of North Carter and Imp was fast thanks to a group of 4 coming up. Another banner day out, no wind and bluebird skies. |
