Anne S. went hiking September 15, 2010 4 miles 2,500 feet gained
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.
