ABC to Bamboo...back down in the snow
Knee deep snow and clear sky! We woke to the hammering knock of our friends guide on their door before sunrise informing us all that the storm had broke and the mountains were out...we dressed fast and headed out to catch the sunrise over the peaks...and what a winter wonderland we found...
Hiking back down to Bamboo we made good time because Ben and I had spikes for our shoes, poles, and gators....we ran through the powder gliding over the trail that had slowed us the day before with high elevation and lots of wet rock...now only open fields of powder! By the time we got to Bamboo we were exhausted! The sun got hot and the snow got heavy...we descended 6000ft in 6 hours, the last 500ft were muddy jungle the rest all snow where two days before there had been nothing but sun.
