Had a great day in the mountains last sunday.. We left the car at 6am, nice and cool under perfect skies.. Bootpacked the entire route as the snow didnt soften up as much as we had expected.. Summited at 2pm, chilled out and skied off the top. The route was much less snow covered than just a few weeks ago but nonetheless the corn was sweeeet.. better toward the top and hardened as we descended.. met a couple tay'ers but didnt really get their names.. lots of good glacier up there if you're looking for some fun, long, late summer turns.. 12 hours round trip with a lots of lolligaging.. I was sore through tues and work has been tough this week but thats the name of the game..
I think I saw your tracks up there, they were looking good.
Sounds like this guy was really lucky other people came along and found him, he could have very easily died. Did you see anyone else while you were up there?

Scary.. he is lucky.. we met an older fellow on his way up when we were coming down but the times dont match up.. we saw two other guys skiing from just shy of the summit it looked like.. tons of climbers of course..
