Comments

Rock solid crust down in the trees. Ski crampons could help.

From the post yesterday, they had 10cm foot penetration, but today we had less than a centimeter up at the Hollyburn summit at 11am. The rolling terrain up high was actually pleasant on the way down, but the trees are type 2 ;)
