Abiathar

Headed out today to try and find access to objective that I’ve been thinking about lately. Got a late start on a beautiful day. The snow at lower elevations got my hackles up. Rotten, nasty, sugar, little unsupportable crust near top. Wasn’t too worrisome but I really didn’t like navigating up the creek through a couple of steepish sections around the little cliff bands. I guess I was a little sensitive since I was soloing but I remember feeling that same way out south of Cooke City at lower elevations. Dirty rotten snowpack in places.

No other signs of instabilities. Snowpack got better higher up.
