 | Comments: |
A mixed bag of everything this day if you like hiking in the mud and running water. Snow was first seen at 3200 feet, and the unstable monorail started around 3500 feet
I postholed once and feel back into some cut branches and did a good job scraping my back.
Slow going along this section
From the hut to the summit mostly bare rocks except for for first 100 yards |
