Distance: 7.3 miles Rating: 5.5/5.0 Difficulty: Strenuous due to distance, difficult terrain, navigation, and avalanche zones.
Conditions: Trails were littered in upper elevations with several avalanches. Made navigating and hiking difficult. Some area were very slippery and snow was several feet deep.
Thoughts/Observations:
Certainly the most difficult hike of the expedition but I noticed it also had the most pictures taken. The views were simply breathtaking. On one or two occasions we were able to hear the thunder of distant avalanches.
