Yeah! Eric, you'd better take your snowshoes, cause I'm taking skis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to figure out if floatation is required. I was up there last weekend. I took snowshoes but didn't need them, but with the new precipitation its prolly a good idea.

jja Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Are you guys going to bring a gps this time have fun !! Me and Eric8 did the NE buttress today. We wanted to beat the crowds, so we arrived at the trailhead at 4 (am). We then proceeded to lose the entirely obvious, essentially paved track and wander around in the woods for an hour. Wait, it gets better! After about an hour, Eric says "Hey, I see a light there! Must be some people camping near the lake!" Two minutes later, I notice the light moving...I look closer, and it's a snowcat! We managed to walk in a circle, convinced we were heading up the valley! So after cussing ourselves roundly as idiots, etc, we headed up the trail again, only to lose it again! THIS time, however, we follow the compass, to make sure that we wouldn't walk in a circle. After a while of bushwhacking, we see headlamps, and hear voices. We thrash in that direction, to find the trail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
