 | Comments: |
A fine day was had with Hiker Ed who I caught up to just before the North loop and then stayed with for the remainder. Blu loves him because he is her Ritz cracker dealer. <3
A mix of dry ground, rocks, roots, frozen ground, running water, ice, ice flows, and packed snow along the majority of the route today. North loop had consistent packed snow with some areas of grippy snow coated bullet ice and/or partially exposed rocks/roots. Across the ridge between the peaks is packed snow, as well as the upper 1/2 of the South Loop. |
