Ptarmigan Ridge — Tuesday, Aug. 7, 1990

After scanning this Camp Kaiser view slide from my first Ptarmigan hike ever, I wondered if it was possible to post an ancient trip report showing the heavy snowpack of days past that remained into August (even after the somewhat below average 582 inch 1989/90 snowfall reported by the ski area). I remember hiking across all those snowfields without traction or poles, surviving and enjoying this wondrous route.
