 | Comments: |
Left after night at the hut. I put spikes on as trail was solid until just before biggest water crossing. Kevin bear booted with no issues. Usual mudding spots down low. Summit is snow free for most part. Saw no one until the summer lot. 1 with dog heading to Zealand. He warned us of a skunk in road, gone when we pasted the area. Warmer on summit than road walk out. Passed 4 others on the way out. 2 Heading to the Sugarloafs.
Fantastic weekend trip, hut only had 5 there Saturday night. |
