Well packed until trail turns west towards MLW, then the summer trail is actually clear in a few places from wind scour. Made it about a mile from Chasm Lake until winds convinced us to give up.

Sidebar: saw some tracks, nails were visible which some research indicates likely means fox (not lynx as I originally thought). Wish I'd taken a picture, but anyone seen any carnivores above treeline on Longs in winter before?

Maybe Coyote?

I went up to the boulderfield this past weekend and could of sworn I heard the yipping of coyotes. I didn't see anything or any tracks but it sounded like they were above treeline somewhere in the valley below granite pass.
