I got out with Jason (Illusive) today. We headed up Sturtevant, hit snow that required crampons around 4900,' and took the friendly Upper Winter Creek Trail down. Trail is pretty well, though UWC had some large down trees.

Last hike as a free man? Or do you think you'll squeeze in a few more?

We went up winter creek on Sunday. Only ran into 3 people on top. two ladies went up the other way (santa Anita?) and said it was not trecommnded. They went down with us on teh other side. It was much colder and socked in with clouds compared yto your trip.

Happen to need a photographer to document you two love-birds stomping around Bryce/Zion? ;)
