Trip: Chilliwack Valley - Bah, another failure
Date: 2/3/2007
Trip Report:
jmace and I left Chilliwhacked at 1 AM.
postholed up a logging road for several hours by headlamp.
turned around when the snow under the breakable crust was consistently kneedeep and we could just barely see our objective off in the distance
postholed back down to the truck at sunrise
drove back here, short bivi then a giant loggers breakfast in the greasy spoon
and it's raining now as a warm front came in. so much for the weather window
Gear Notes:
carried small rack for 13km round trip.
headlamp
no snowshoes
Approach Notes:
postholes. should have had snowshoes but didn't want to carry-over.
park next to burned out car wreck.
no paper plates at this time of year
