That's a long ass day! I guess they call it Long's for a reason Way to persevere though! How was it bushwhacking up from Wild Basin? Annoying? Was the snow supportive?

Thanks for the stoke and a nice TR

The bushwhack up through wild basin was easy, we stayed high close to some steep slopes and made steady but slow progress up the valley. The bushwhack down was a different story, but that's because we got sucked down too low. Damn you gravity, you've won this round!

The snow was quite supportive of us, encouraging even, all the way to the snow line, aided a great deal no doubt by the very cold overnight temperatures.

Bump for underappreciated sichterness. Long's is long, except for maybe when there's snow on the NF.
