I hope everybody had a great first Winter hike!!!
After a confortable night at the Denning road parking, in a pinpinmobile hotel, with a couple of B plan in my plastic bag, at 5 a.m. 12-22-09, PinpinCats started with a big plan!!!
The snow condition was old crusty snow,the day before, some peoples used snowshoes & some peoples without snowshoes but everybody had O.K.
First attemp, Table Mountain, without trouble and a gorgious sun set in the top. Old snowshoes tracks to Peakmoose Mountain. When We come back at the col We take the direction to Lone Mountain, good snow condition musly over the crust.
It was early Why do not go more in the East side... without trouble to Rocky Mountain a part was in a old snowshoes tracks!!! Some trouble to go in the Balsam Cap goal, after a couple of dead end (cliffs) We need to stay in the bear path to go down!!!
In this nice sunny day We are lucky, We find a other old snowshoes tracks to Friday Mountain, it was particulary great near the summit.
Now it is too late to go back, We go to Cornell, 1,000 steps before the top, We find the usual trail with perfect snowshoes tracks!!!
We drup the pack near the top, but We are some troubles when We go down in the Wittenberg trail it was little bit icy and the crampons was slepping in the Cornell top!!! We used the back down without trouble.
It was easier We was thinking to return on Cornell, little bit slowly to go up Slide, We tell "good by" a couple of time to the Sun, each time We saw the Sun when We go down the valleys.
We arrived at the parcking close of 12 hours after we started, tire but with a larrge smile in our faces.
Thank You everyboby hiked in this area and helped Us!!!!!
