11.5 miles of hiking • 4000' elevation gain •
Another scrapped hike this year. I had a pass for the Enchantments, so that was the plan. Got three quarters of the way up Aasgard and decided to turn around because of what could become dicey snow on the way down, given all the melting that was going on. It probably was fine, and now I'm kicking myself, but with all the stories of deaths on Aasgard, I decided to play it safe.
The boulderfield was icy. Also, the larch was lookin' pretty.

Ah bummer man. Just seeing your photos made me cringe at how hard this was though.
It's insane to realize that the top of Aasgard Pass (the highest end of the Enchantments) never melted out this year.
