 | Comments: |
We started up the packed ice gated camp road from the parking lot using light traction which we wore just beyond the first crossing. Changed to snowshoes after the crossing and bush whacked along the south bank to the recognized trail that begins at the usual forth water crossing thus avoiding the 3-4 other crossings. From there we followed the trail to the top and then bush whacked to the peak through easy woods. |
