It didn't look good. 1cm new on a hard crust. The rambler's persevered.

Up through the trees into a creek drainage. We were exposed to avi hazard from the sunny side.

Wednesday hit 10C look what came down

When looking up the barrel of a gun make sure it is not loaded.

It was just below zero ,snowy and very cloudy.

We travelled single file through the creek drainage and Cathy led us up to a safe treed bench lookers right ( shady side)

Up and over the debris

Carl led a perfect traverse back into the drainage above treeline in lower angled terrain.

We finally gained the summit
