T-shirt to 7500' today. The snow is terribly furrowed and bumpy from settling deformities to 6300' but smooth above 6600'. Corned up only on sun facing slopes. Icy where flat or facing away from the sun. Muir Snowfield looks to have huge sastrugi above McClure Rock.

Thanks for the update. It's been upper 60s at Paradise the last two MLK weekends. I think it cracked 70 two years ago.
