"Less than ideal conditions. Being familiar with the traverse as well as the blue markers helped with the poor visibility. Ice axe and crampons were necessary for the hard packed steep icy slopes.The vertical chain was totally buried. I had to dig around with the ice axe to find and dig it up. I would not of found it if I hadn't known it was there. First time checking out the new trail." — Randy • Mar 28, 2024
"Traverse from Gunnery-Holy Cross to Mt Head. Winter conditions but spring weather made for a beautiful day. It’s a challenging ridge when you have to stick to it due to avy danger/snow covering possible bypasses but it is doable. Expect 5th class for sure. In the summer it would be much easier and less post holing
I also linked up to sentinel pass" — Rocky Mountain Goats • Mar 16, 2024
"Cathy, Julie and I met in Pincher Creek and drove down to the Bison Paddock. The road is closed, so we parked on the grass and hiked in from there. It was a strenuous day for March! Some snowshoes on / snowshoes off, carry them on the pack, walk with them in our hands... but we didn't need them by the end of the valley and scrambled from there with less weight on our back! We had virtually no wind and it was warm, so our summit stay was a bit longer and more enjoyable than the last trip down there for Rowe lol." — leigh-annewebster • Mar 16, 2024
"SE ridge route. Crossing river using hip waders was no problem. Access trail in the shadow valley ( between Minos and “Diamond ridge” )had quite amount of snow. I had to brake trail using snowshoes- something I seldom do in recent years. It was rather hard for me. Ridge was mostly free of snow, no wind , amazing weather. Return same way on broken trail, was a lot faster." — Pawel G • Mar 16, 2024
