Hi,
There's been even more SAR's mission for Skyline, let's start handing out door prizes.
According to KWilliams info, that person must have somehow made it across the knarly Coffman Craig drainage, where it gets even shittier I do believe.
I heard info that folks were following a bad track of prints / trail & landing way off trail, (which there is none I'd imagine currently). This happens on years of much snow.
Some head up a steep chute before Coffman, (I've been there in a storm), and find that class 4+ awaits, after being knackered to get there.
It may be getting hot in the desert, but there's sections on the upper portions that get little sun & can hold very deep drifts, (fatigue city).
Wanna learn real mountaineering skills, hike Skyline now w/out a cell phone!!
