Perfect conditions on the Muir snowfield yesterday for an awesome, nearly uninterrupted mile and a half glissade. Had my hardshell pants on, forgot gaiters due to summer conditions, and my pants quickly rode up to my knees. Never felt anything due to numb skin from the ice, it turns out that shit is pretty abrasive. Found this while changing layers at Pebble Creek...
I'd never heard of this happening before, it's certainly not my first glissade, but kind of unique in the length and consistency, and I just blithely let my legs drag along the snow the whole way, suspecting nothing.
