Well needed these two for May and also needed a longer test hike with the achilles. No pain for the ankle but wow did winter make a return with a vengeance! Very soon after we started was there snow on the ground with some rain falling from the sky. We only had 1 guy in front of us that only went to the flume and bald peak. We noticed the old monorail under our feet around 3650’ which was stable but getting narrower for sure. Lots of muddy sections and max 4” of freshy snow! We actually made the whole day in no traction but it is only due to the balling would have killed the soul a lot! Did not see many people today out which is nuts as the day started to be better and better. We met 4 sweatshirts who never made it to the real south peak, then 3 more after that before seeing some runners close to the end. Was an epic day with epic company as always! To the Peter than knew me, may we cross paths maybe soon again. 5 left for that grid thing :) 72belowd |
