 | Comments: |
Slippery on fishing Jimmy put spikes on just below the wood blocks as you climb. Handy all the way across the ridge. Ice is not terrible but in the wrong places at the wrong times. Met and hiked with Tommy on the way up over to South and back. Saw David Senecal and Amy Hildreth almost back to the tent sites getting ready to head up. Met 10 people coming over the cannon balls must have been the day to do it in that direction. Ice continued. Some ice on Hi-Cannon above the Lonesome lake view spots. Real low ceiling all day long. Temps were not bad and wind decreased over the course of the day. |
