Yep, we saw you guys. That looked like a great line on Wilson. We watched that aspect slide to the ground Thursday evening. By Saturday morning we were beat or we'd have tried it before it warmed up.

Re: El Diente
Sweet aerial shot Barry (I just noticed it). We started our El Diente climb on Sunday at that meadow visible in the bottom left corner. I'm still tired.
Glad you guys weren't in that FJ late Friday night cause it took me quite a few attempts to make it through that snow drift you guys parked near. Of course it was all for nothing since I couldn't make it through the next one. Nice truck btw.
That route up Wilson Peak was efficient. We reached the summit at 9am but should have been there even earlier cause the NE face (our ski route) was already a little too soft by the time we dropped.Boggy B wrote:Yep, we saw you guys.

Re: El Diente
Haha thanks.. there was so much more snow Thursday morning. I could have pushed through that drift with the diff locked but there was no dry road visible after that so I didn't bother. Hiking out on Saturday we were amazed at how little snow was left down there.
