 | Comments: |
Whiteface was in great shape to the summit with only a bit of drifting in places. Rollins had signs of being broken last weekend in places but some of it was all fresh. In sheltered areas it was only 8-10 on the previous trail. I was alone across with Thor but I took my time and packed plenty to make it easier for him and future trekkers. Several places I went up around the steep pitched sidehills to keep from losing him down it the Bowl. Dicey is also in great shape. |
