We started up from the PC Trail head at 9am today and followed the faint snowshoe track from yesterday until the falls before Commonwealth Basin. The only good place to cross the creek is just below the falls and rock cliff. We then broke trail up to the base of the Kendall Peak. Once on the open slopes we dug 2 pits. The first one failed 29 down, the second pit 10 ft away, slid while cutting the wall at 8. We encountered very strong winds and windblown slopes. We decided it would be best to make our way down at this point. The ski out was OK. Its sort of a long way to go without skiing higher up. We encountered a group on the way down that followed our track. Hope they had a good tour.
We toured above the Snow Lake Divide yesterday and it was incredible. Today was a little disappointing in comparison.
