Comments

Saturday was warm, Sunday was cool. Melt freeze. Hard crust. Below 1600M was warm enough to create wet sugary conditions. Above was rock hard. Very slippery, some group members needed to bootpack areas as traction was poor.

Strong wind gusts. Watch those cornices on Nak! They are coming down and huge!
