 | Comments: |
Did fine with dull Hillsounds to South Carter, snow loose and granular above Zeta Pass. You might be ok going to Middle Carter without snowshoes but it'll be easier with them. Snowshoed all the way to ~0.4 below the Imp split, switched back to spikes at that point. Smooth and snowed in above Imp split, lots of rocks and water channels below it. Think snow! |
