| Avalanche Peak
Climbed at a slow and steady pace...above treeline was good going with the snow. Caught up with Aaron near the top -- hung out for a while -- the views were awesome today. About 20-50 cm of fresh (windblown) snow on a hard pack base so there were a few avalanches in the area...we even managed to set one off. hm. |
