Comments

15-30 cm of snow/ice on the uptrack to 1500 feet with a quick transition to 100 cm+ of well bonded HS above that, 140 cm HS at 3000 feet. 25-30 cm of recent storm snow sits atop a thick and bridging MF crust. Observed some small point release slides that entrained storm snow in extreme terrain and small windslab on all aspects running to Sz 1. Amazing terrain up here. The access route is no joke! Spikes/yaktracks highly recommended for the trail from the Hwy.
