One new looking blowdown near the bottom of the col between Liberty and Flume. Looked to me like it would be easier to go through than around so I broke off some dead branches and crawled under on hands and knees, dragging my pack. |

Absolutely gorgeous day to be in the mountains. Clear skies with incredible visibility, not too cold, and the wind was strong in the notch but decreased to barely a breeze at the summits. Trail is well packed and do-able in spikes but I personally prefer my snowshoes for the televators. Just one blowdown in the col to watch out for, otherwise smooth sailing all day. |
