Snow in the main chute was turning to ice. Above the notch both sides are clear with some snow and ice in the center. MR photos conditions start at #23 There was only one register page left and it was pretty full. Ranger at the visitor center said that it was the end of the season and that no one from the Park Service would be up there to refill? Picasa Skydiveken Summitpost

I'm betting they could enlist the help of Richard P. or Rick Kent... Congrats on your summit..nice pics too! Chris

(I've already got him buying technical climbing gear)!
