I spent the last week in the head waters of the
Slim Creek area. The road to the TLH's fuel cache is now barely drivable
for a loaded 7p van - it would be no problem for higher clearance
vehicles. Lots of melt this summer has left glaciers looking more
like early September - lots of exposed ice. The snow line came down
to 2300m during the 3 storms that crossed the region while I was there. The bugs
low down where nicely tamed by the colder Wx!
It seems that no other operators are in the area
this summer and this has resulted in a renewed abundance of animal
life and sign.
If you are planning to cross Slim Creek on the
cable (by Baldwin's cabin) take a pulley or extra carabiner to ride the
line as the present system is wearing through and getting
untrustable.
