 | Comments: |
KRT from over the Cannonballs to Cannon a mix of bare rock,supportive/degrading monorail and ice.It appeared that man nor moose could pass thru without a few postholes but overall travel was fast. micros were fine today with the exception of an area with ice bulges approx .6 before the summit of Cannon which was a little tricky but ice was tacky. bareboots on Cannon down till just passed viewpoint until "kitty litter" section. LST bareboots mostly bareground until FPA sign than micros forward on the nicest stretch of emerging monorail ive seen lately. it was nice chatting with many including the hiker on the summit of Mt Liberty before heading to Flume. Returned to Liberty for a spectacular sunset |
