Highlights of the day:
- Forgetting my snowshoes and barging in on Rick at 8.30 a.m. to borrow his. (thank you, Rick!)
- Starting the day in crazy heat and getting an interesting “gaiter tan.”
- Heading up the steep side of Mount Elgood. This took the word steep to whole new levels. I have never scrambled up snow before.
- Making it to the top – yay!
- Running into another super KMC group at the top of Plewman!
- Sitting down on top for lunch with thousands of ladybugs – no exaggeration – thousands. They were everywhere. Had to be careful about picking a place to sit so as not to crush them.
- Views – clear blue sky and views to die for.
- Awesome company.
- A nice relatively easy descent via Seven Summits to end the day with about 6.5 hours, 850 metres elevation and about 15K
