Nipsy

And then you sprained your ankle?????

Nice work! I was one of the two people you chatted with on the summit ridge that went through the old chutes. Impressive work!

Just got down from there. People are using both depending on how busy it is. PG-needs an ice ice tool in addition to your ax. The snow turned to crap this afternoon with the sun and the heat. With the nice temps and sun it was very difficult to leave the windless summit.

Eldiente, were you the ones that stole the first tracks on the groomers before daylight? If so, our trip ended much the same. The weather was horrid from lower Palmer up yesterday. Gnarly wind that blew me over several times and with the moderate avy risk was not worth continuing. We headed down and worked on our rope skills down low. Snow was blown powder in the lee areas and ice and sastrugi elsewhere.
