Comments
I was on the mule hollow ridgeline looking into bear trap. I noticed there was a track going in to the convex role at the bottom of the cone.
I was by myself and thankfully on my way over to do a search, ran into two back country skiers. They were more than happy to help me do a search.
We thoroughly beacon searched the area and found nothing.
