Ski mountaineering:
RT 10.0. Good snow conditions, the
weather was clear but cold. The approach was long. When we reached the
saddle (base of Bow's west slope), we were challenged with blocky
terrain and snow. I thought the final slope would be quick and easy but
post-holing slowed us down and was certainly frustrating. The
ascent to the summit surprised and bagged us both! |
