Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (4 February 2012), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
Cloudy and occasionally drizzling for this leg, with very few views. One of the party kicked a zigzag of steps down to Desperation Pass. Probably a good thing there was no visibility, as it is very exposed there.
