Friday Dec 28 |
| Mountain Climbing (Bushwack -- Donaldson Mt) 12:15:00 [4]7.0 mi (1:45:00 / mi) | |
| |
| An off trail climb up a remote part of the Seward Range. Looked interesting on a topo map, so thought we'd give it a try. Like most topo maps, this didn't show blowdowns, spruce thickets and rock bands. Think dark green, on snowshoes. Made the going slow, wet and vigorous. Now we know why this isn't the usual approach. Got to summit about an hour after dark, followed a herd path back down to camp. 2,000' climb. |
