| partners | | After Picketpost since we were so close, we wanted to take the short jaunt out to Apache Leap before the day's light waned. Magma Mine Road is now a paved superhighway. We parked at the turnoff for FR315 and headed down to the pond before making our way up the drainage toward the leap. There was still and inch or two of snow in all the shaded areas, and lots of ice on the rocks. Azpride slipped on an icy spot and after that 9L decided it wasn't worth trying to get to the leap.
The manzanita was thick and tough, and the best routes were either snowy, icy, or just water. None of which were particularly fun to fight through. We headed up on the sunny side of the slope to avoid the snow and ice, but the progress was basically impossible, so we decided to play on the boulders for a while before just giving up and heading back to town. A nap on the couch over a couple of football games completed a pretty good day! |
