Comments
For purely academic consideration, I got a better look at the crowns in upper Primrose from Monday morning that I couldn't see very well from 10233. They aren't large or deep, but given the nature of the terrain up there, I'm glad I didn't chance it. I think the fact that these slides occurred naturally after very little snow fell is a good lesson about the respect demanded by the upper reaches of Timp. Getting to the top of Primrose seems easy these days with modern gear and technique, but it's a dangerous place with the capacity to generate treacherous conditions even when things seems benign in general.
