 | Comments: |
Lowering cloud ceiling to ~3000'. Trace mud(will freeze soon), snow and ice on lower half, but on upper half +/- rock and ledges covered with ice/snow; light traction was VERY good to have. Snow and wind was increasing, as predicted by late morning.
Saw only one person until well down, but one set footprints near summit.
Kestrel data @summit @11:00: T=20F W=12-20 WC=0F-5F Always good to be out |
