Just an FYI there is a track out to the Blues if anyone wants it. Carter Ledge was already broken out to the junction with Middle Sisters and Middle Sister broken out past where we left to bushwhack. Path out to White Ledge looks well traveled. Snow on and off trail not deep and mostly supportive. If following the tracks note the path up Blue and over to Northwest was fine, but on the ascent of Northwest bear right and take the the track we descended on unless you like spruce. Track up and down Northeast was good. On the return to Middle Sister Trail we opted to skirt Blue and hold elevation which was much harder than backtracking or just staying low and making a straight shot up in my opinion. |
