Comments

Great day exploring. Consistent snow around 1100m, just after Paton peak. Steep n facing off Burwell was still bulletproof at 130pm. East facing was isothermic slop and steep slopes would consistently produce loose wet slides. Later after mellow n facing was buttery smooth.

Watch out for cliffs and explore the n shore!!
