Walking 7:00:00 [2] 22.0 km (19:05 / km) +1360m 14:35 / km
Mt Feathertop, mostly on snow shoes. Not a breathe of wind all the way up or down. Still on the summit and only limited cloud cover. Octa 2 or 3 I am guessing. The long wait for a good weather day proved worthwhile. Blisters developed two hours in, but removing the PF heel insert solved that. Of course, sore heels by the end of the walk. Interesting mix of people up there. Skiers, obviously. Although a solo walk, it wasn't lonely. A couple of walking parties, and an aspiring climbing party. Found myself in the unexpected position of providing beta on the rib adjacent to Avalanche Gully. Climbed it with axe, ropes and other gear in the 1970s. It was pretty tame I thought, but then when well iced people have fallen down there and not survived.
