The route from Mill Creek was very dry, but with spots of deep snow in the trees. Snowshoes were helpful from 11,000 to 12,000 ft. My trip was cut short due to a knee injury and I had to double back at 12,500ft. If you are interested a story of my 5 hour descent with a non-functioning knee is here: http://awilbur77.blogspot.com/2012/03/no-luck-of-irish-on-sunshine-peak.html

I'm sorry to hear that you hurt your knee while climbing Sunshine.

The pic of me postholing is hilarious. Actually, it is super helpful, as it shows the last sighting of my ice ax (yeah, another casualty of the weekend). It narrows the range quite a bit - I probably lost it somewhere between 11.4 and 11.8K.

Take care of your knee and heal quickly. We should get out again soon.
