Wowza what a day! Valley Way was pretty much a packed super highway. Some of our crew did use snowshoes for the televators but those of us in spikes or Hillsound Pros had great footing. Snowshoes went for a ride. At the hut we dropped the snowshoes as both Madison and Adams were pretty bony. Spikes worked well for both. There were a few spots of ice that were easy to get around. This was one of those rare and beautiful days that was warm enough to stop and chat with friends and take longer summit and hut breaks. So many familiar faces again today. I think we all got the memo that the Presis were the place to be. |
