| Comments: |
I was positively surprised; some snow/ice left on Livermore (the groomed section); 99% of ungroomed part snow free--it was great. Half of Scaur Ridge also completely without snow and ice; felt more like walking in fall with all the leaves on the ground; suddenly, the snow starts and another hiker and I immediately swapped into snowshoes and kept them on for the entirety of the hike back to that spot. There was a small section without snow/ice on the ridge (when ascending toward N Tripyramid) but not worthwhile to take of the snowshoes. 2 guys barefooted up from Pine Bend and descended via Sabbaday. They potholed quite a bit. On snowshoes, it really wasn't bad. I post-holed maybe 5 times over the course of the hike.
Great day out. Nice to meet you Qi! All the best for your remaining grid peaks :) |
