Comments
Comments: I guess its weird to post this with the incoming snow, however a few things make it relevant. First is that this is the best I've seen the bridges on the crossings possibly ever. Secondly, I met a large group on Middle who absolutely shredded the ridge and the summit approaches on both sides are really rough. Just that theres some really deep postholes on the ridge from them and whoever breaks it out after the storm should be cognizant that there are some deep hidden treasures to find under the snowpack. Also I went up south and down north
