Ascent Trip ReportLate start and post-holing every 3rd step was wreaking havoc on my knee... snowshoes were useless after a point due to the pitch of the terrain.

Found out after the fact that I was just about clear of the snow cover... and probably could have (should have?) continued to knock this one out that day.... ahh well discretion and all that....
