Finally made it on our third attempt. As difficult a hike as can be imagined. 5000 ft of elevation gain in about 5 miles with no trail. Most of wreckage unseen, covered in snow.
Great weather. Plenty of water on the way up. 36 hours on the mountain. 1 hour at the crash site. Lost 13 lbs body weight.
