Adamant Range, British Columbia 4/14-4/21

Stayed at the Fairy Meadow Hut for 1 week. Fantastic place and I cannot say enough about the week. Bright sunshine for the whole week except for a small storm on Tues-Wed which only refreshed the surface. Good knee deep powder on north aspects. I cannot say enough good things, so I will let the pics do the talking as follows: <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/9/1081.jpg" ALT="FM Hut"> <BR>Descending to the Fairy Meadow Hut <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/9/1082.jpg" ALT="FriAsc"> <BR>Making an ascent on Friday morning <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/9/1083.jpg" ALT="Last Thu"> <BR>A short last run on Thursday <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/9/1084.jpg" ALT="Thu 3"> <BR>A short 2nd to last run on Thursday <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/9/1085.jpg" ALT="Crevasses"> <BR>A heavily crevassed portion of the Granite Glacier; we made a descent just the other side of this <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/9/1086.jpg" ALT="Mark 1"> <BR>That's me <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/9/1087.jpg" ALT="Bright Day"> <BR>Ho-hum, another brilliant day ! <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/9/1088.jpg" ALT="Jenn Probe"> <BR>Jenn probing for crevasses
