 | Comments: |
The clouds started at ~2600 feet this morning so everything was very wet. There's a ton of mud between the North and South Twin, some challenging to avoid stepping in. Rime ice was starting to build up on the South Twin. When I was there it seemed to mostly be on vertical surfaces but I think things might be very icy tomorrow.
Galehead hut was open and provided some tasty coffee cake. |
