In spite of the snowy, cold forecast 4 hardy hikers joined Richard on a loop hike around Mono Cliffs. Most of the trails were packed powder with no need for icers. There were some challenges getting up the South Outlier where the steep switchbacks had some ice under the snow and once up there the trail was 'blown in' and required re-breaking. Luckily this was a hard core group with a couple of 'the newbies' showing serious leadership potential! We channeled our inner Michael Agrells!!!!
Plans to explore the new Third Outlier Side Trail were shelved until a nice spring day. Just as well, or there might have been a mutiny.
They definitely earned their Timmies stop.
