Delta lake 4/19/26
trail was some absolute SHIT towards the end. But that’s to expected. Even with crampons and snowshoes, snow quality was so bad it didn’t matter. Ever step I slipped another 2 feet downwards.
First I hit taggart and Bradley, then delta. Easy going until a little before the garnet junction, almost completely snow free. Afterwards was hell.
Started early at 7, took 2 hours to the junction, another 2 and a half to delta. Downclimb took 2 hours to junction (lost the trail after slipping and falling a good 15 feet) and 1 hour to taggart trailhead.
