Keener people than us had got there first and the light was in and out, but great nonetheless.
Watching out for rocks on the second pitch.
Happy crew! Friday the dog was especially excited to get a winter outing.

First Turns of the Season
Early season on McCrae Peak: slip-sliding up a sketchy logging road; slippery roots on the uptrack; flat light on the pocket glacier; first run rusty but the magic's still there; second time around cloud clears and the mountains open up; fun turns in creamy pow; scratchy descent back to the car.
