With lack of snow,but good stability and awesome weather,Mt Harvey was the perfect call.We left Lions Bay at 10:15am,then reached the Harvey turnoff at 11:00,by 11:45 we reached the snow line.(Transfered to ski boots and boot crampons and by 1:oopm we booted our way to the summit of Mt Harvey.
Summary
Beautiful 360 degree view on the summit.
45 min lunch break
Followed Andy down five very exposed ski turns then back to normal terrain.Thought Andy was going to ski/base jump before he got his skis back on track.
skins stayed in pack
edgeable ski turns in trees turned to unedgeable turns rather quickly,back to boot crampons.
Back at car by 4:00 pm

No base jumping! Looks like some spectacular views. Happy New Year to the Traslin bros.
Too chicken for that,I doubt there could be a bigger rush.
Thanks Tim!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
