4 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
Didn't plan this one too well, so didn't leave enough time. Perfect clear day, but in the morning the snow was very icy and slippery. Should've had microspikes - moved to the rockline and headed towards Moon Rocks. Stopped near Anvil Rock and decided to turn back due to time. Later realized I was less than 45 mins from camp. Dangerous descent, but snow softened eventually. Bears nears paradise, 2 cubs and 3 adults in the valley. Amazing day, one of the best yet.
