Took advantage of a day off and met up with my buddy Ken. Beautiful day for a hike. Crystal clear and almost no wind. We barebooted most of the way but I put my snowshoes on on the way down at the cabin (see lost and found) but took them back off when the snow got too thin. Honestly, the snow is such a mess that I was twisting my ankles from hitting all the postholes wrong. So pick your poison. The summit is completely bare. The rest of the route had a little bit of everything. And more snow is coming this week…
Pics will be up on Instagram sometime tonight @quantum.moxie |
