great effort team. nice pics of gunn N face and spire! as soon as i saw the map, i suspected there could be some issues for a winter trip. sharp Vs like that give me pause for winter, either because of cliffs/rockbands or cornice potential. the sunrise lake approach looks doable.

That looks like it was an amazing snowshoe! Great pictures and I love your grit facing up against that snow with broken snowshoes nonetheless wink.gif. Great trip report. Thanks! As for MSRs, my lightnings are showing signs of tearing after one or two rockier than I would have liked stream crossings with them on (should have just taken them off but it's a time consumer). Glad to hear they do such great repairs! I didn't even know they had a shop downtown... smile.gif.

Nice work, very ambitious! The route from the E has it's issues as well. Never topped Burley, but done Simms and Sunset from Eagle.
