 | Comments: |
There is a surprising lack of snow for the time of year. We wore snowshoes for a bit on the way up, but they really were not practical.
We bushwhacked up the northwest ridge on Bean, hitting the ridge north of the summit. We walked south to the recognized highpoint. We took the access road to the tower northwest of Kennedy Hill and bushwhacked to the recognized highpoint. To return, we started along the east ridge and slabbed down above the drainage. |
