Comments

There was some loose wet activity on Perlas Saturday afternoon. Afternoon temps at the Gate Buttress Perlas area topped out at 65 degrees. The lower north facing chutes and drainages all have some amount of wet debris in them and most have started to melt out due to the record temps lately.
