 | Water Crossing Notes: |
A miraculous log has been dropped from the heavens to help with the crossing. We were able to cross it and spikes without problem. We noticed the water levels went up several inches by the time we crossed it on the way back. If the water stays at a reasonable level, this is the key to crossing. |

 | Comments: |
Only needed north twin today so did out and back. Although one member of our crew continued on to South twin and Gail head. We ran into at least two other hikers that were also heading in that direction. There wasa gentleman who was heading to Zealand.
We bare booted the road, where there is a slight dirt path emerging from the snow cover. We put on micro spikes at the start of the trail and kept them on for the entire day. For the last 1.5 to the summit snow shoes might have made things a little bit easier. Snow was not sticky yet but unconsolidated so it felt like walking in the sand. We are back to the cars by 11:30 AM so we did not encounter any melting.
Congrats to everyone in the crew for getting this peak for March. I have officially gridded the twins!
