 | Comments: |
Not a cloud in the sky and a steady 25 mph breeze. I was able to bare boot up Ammo following the frozen footprints. At the hut I put on my full winter outfit for the sub-zero traverse, I was a little hesitant but had no issues besides a cold nose, since I wear glasses and they fog if I cover it. Wore spikes for the descent of Edmands. There was a little snow from the night before but it had mostly blown away, and Crawford path was pretty bare, as well as the trees. The trees are tight near the top of Edmands path, so I would avoid that trail when they are wet. |
