Comments
Comments: Aside from some patches of ice on the lower parts of 19MB and a short postholed area between B and C peaks, the entire route was very well packed out the entire way. Barebooted 19MB and snowshoed Wildcat Ridge. Cold out but not much wind, with excellent views from A & D peaks and the various outlooks in between.

#45 and #46 on the Winter 48 down, with only two to go now- Mt. Cabot and Cannon Mountain!
