 | Comments: |
The clouds on the high peaks cleared out as the morning progressed, leading to a great day with good long distance visibility all around. Starting OTHH group of eight shrank to four near the top end of the section with the falls on FW, due to a slippery slab mishap resulting in a shoulder dislocation. Three assisted the injured one back down FW and off to Speare. |
