Dropped a big day as Chrsitian's first backcountry tour. Beautiful and safe day, but not so beautiful snow conditions (variable rime zipper crust). Nearly made it from Pinecreast to Grandview peak but ran out of time.Also in the good sport was Alexi. Fun when babbling and giggling on my back, but not so fun when testing his lungs with screams. Thats his latest rage, screaming at top of his lungs for no reason. From now on, tours with him will be with earpugs in. And maybe a new back, as he is getting big and lugging him around just plain wore me out.
Pugs did good until home run where rime crust on south truned to almost impenetrable ice sheet. Almost is the word because occasionally a paw would break through. Lewie got so frustrated we had to take turns carrying him down.
