| Next morning, went up past the reservoir and north into the bowl containing Upper Causeway Lake. Going up was relatively easy since the snowpack was hard and compact. We were able to reach the base of the ridge north of the lake without trouble, but couldn't have proceeded farther without crampons.
Went back down on softening snow, and showed Annie how to glissade in a couple of safe sections.
I guess I underestimated the amount of snow still left, so we weren't able to make it all the way up onto the Flat Tops. Still, I was with a less fit hiker and didn't want to push too hard. Plus, I wanted to get in some mountain work in whatever form possible before PQ, and it doesn't matter what kind... this worked well.
