A couple of blow downs on Ammo but easily passed. The washout on Ammo is in need of an 'official reroute'. There are two log bridges on Ammo, one with three sound logs, the other with only one. No problem now with no water obviously. |

nothing today, too windy. |

 | Comments: |
Cold, west wind (50 mph) on top, so had to reroute my trip and avoid descending Crawford path from Washington to Monroe. Went down Tuck to the junction and then across the Crossover to the Hut. Sat there for a while to warm up and enjoyed leftover pancakes and syrup which helped me get up Monroe. Ammo was a bit slippery in places but nothing serious. All of the crossings were fine. Near the summit of Washington, I watched a glider trying to tac back and forth into that strong wind but was making no headway. Must have been very cold way up there with no heat. |
