Day 6     5.29

Our last day.  We got up before 2:30am in hopes of catching hard snow to and down the Raven Headwall.  No such luck.  We were a bit worried that the headwall might be unstable but were greeted with tracks from the Fairbanks crew that indicated otherwise.  We still descended (by buttsliding) one at a time.  We were able to ski (on and off) to within a mile of the parking lot.  Adrienne played a huge part in making sure that the shuttle was in place - a taxi showed up at 11am to take us back to Anchorage.

 

Shortly before leaving the hut at around 3:45am. Pretty classic expressions for the hour.

Leaving the hut in the summer darkness.
