Magdalena redux 2/6 or 2/7 (1 Viewer)

[Dumpolina]

With all the warm weather I’m thinking about returning to Magdalena to fix that rock in the road.
Plan to come up the Kelly mine side. If that first climb is all ice then I’ll just go over to Gordys or meander around the lower sections. Not real game to try the water canyon switchbacks again.
Could end up walking up the last portions if it’s sketchy on top.
Goal is to fix the rock more than conquer the hill.
Interest?
Saturday 2/6 or Super Bowl Sunday, I’m easy either way.
Brush may be heavy so if you like your paint maybe pass.
And every snow run with Grant has the potential for total disaster, so forewarned

TRUTH! But, that is half the fun.

Sunday oughta work for me, as of now, anyway! I'll bring the 4runner for less pin striping. I have 4 chains for the 4runner as well and can bring another set for 285 75 16s, which are 33" if someone else needs a set.

Cool, yes Sunday puts another day of sunshine on that slope

I do not want to use chains... if the slope is icy it’s a no go for me

approaching it from the other side should be easy as all of it should be sun exposed.

That first climb is shaded, that’s where @demoj got crossed up in my tracks

Grant, parental duties are preventing me from joining you tomorrow, sorry bud

No worries, thanks for the heads up!
Too many things are telling me not to go, gonna put this off a week and work on the 60 instead
