Good winter challenge. The temps were in the 40's so it made for slushy snow; hard to get a grip in, even with snowshoes. But, it was all-in-all a good time; certainly didn't think it was deserving of a "wouldn't bring my worst enemy here" comment, but to each his own I guess.

Now what could possibly cause me to utter these words? Climbing Redfield and Cliff Mtns; that’s what! These mountains had more blowdown than any other mountains that I climbed. My hip muscles even cramped up a little bit. I had never had that happen before. These two mountains pushed me to near exhaustion. There were times when I did not think I would succeed. There were also times when my feet did not touch the ground for many minutes due to the massive blowdown.
