This is pretty much useless after tonight’s weather comes thru. Bike path was 90% ice free. Lots of melt today. Water running on lower areas, lots of water-mud-leaves. Big ice flows very slippery but sharp spikes are fine today. Above tent site snow increases but solid track. Many postholes from last weeks warm temps. Windy on Liberty cool clouds blowing thru. Pretty straightforward to Flume. Not really any wind. Just a beautiful peak with great views. Finished my 6th round here! Shot of Whiskey & an IPA. Spread some of my fathers ashes. Not many out today. Watch the weather as these conditions will be much different tomorrow. |
