Yeah I’m sure he forgot to turn it on i don’t think a car was getting up that far today haha. He sent me a text, sounds like the skiing up there is unbelievable right now! His tracker is low so if it just stops somewhere random it probably means the tracker died.

Thanks Andrew for the updates. Car won't get up that road, but a snowmobile can

Well i guess technically I’m not there but I’d say there is pretty much no way he took a snow mobile. Besides he is having so much fun skiing it seems like it would just ruin all the fun.

Chris is on the climb up to Twin Lakes in Chicago Basin. He left at 0200 from Purg this morning. Making good time. Hopefully the snow will be agreeable on the peaks. Yesterday was windy.
Traveling light is the only way to fly.

Nice little 10-hour morning walk to Windom.
(or is he on skis for the approach?)

Here or on Instagram I saw Chris refer to going after 59. Does anyone know if that extra is Sunlight Spire, or something else? I guess we may find out later today…
