Total Elevation Gain - 1,505 m
Total Time - 10 hrs

Hit the BCMC trail at 0600, almost touched the summit but had to turn back on the south face because of snow too warm.

Very impressed by everybody, such super team!

Hi, Dr:

Warm snow? What a concept! You have been correcting my Chinese. How is my chance to tease about your English, did you mean snow too soft? Just kidding :)

I was at Dam Mountain and part way to Goat Mountain yesterday and was thinking of your guys.

Look forward to more pictures.

..Warm snow? What a concept! You have been correcting my Chinese. How is my chance to tease about your English, did you mean snow too soft? ..

I meant it, warm snow. Snow temperature changes vertically through the snowpack, near the ground it is almost always around 0 (obviously) and then it gets colder, at the surface meeting air temperature ( when lost one can get dig deep enough and survive the cold night, even if air is -20C, provided he carried snow shovel ). Warm spring air changes this pattern and creates instability triggering avalanches.

"..Avalanches are unlikely to form in very thick forests, however boulders and sparsely distributed vegetation can create weak areas deep within the snowpack, through the formation of strong temperature gradients. .."

It was then the world's most beautiful spot enjoying the mysterious crown mountain summit - so near yet far away. All because we respected the power of nature, knowing when to go home is something we treasured beyond our desire to reach the summit. It was absolutely a rightful decision to turn back leaving potential trip for Crown in upcoming season.

Once again, Thanks Dr. for a valuable climbing experience and training, and an awesome trip. Thanks team mates, you are wonderful!

我来了，这两天当农夫和伙夫可比爬山累多了。总算忙完了， :D

终于走进了Crown, 在我心中憧憬和敬畏了很多次的Crown。虽然没有登顶，但是和潘博士， angel度过了非常愉快的一天。同一座山不同的路况难度也不一样。这次相对来说比较容易，和我想象中的crown有点不同。在接近summit的时候下撤，敬佩博士的观察力和决策力，还仔细给我们讲解了潜在的，极可能发生的危险。我想这是我此行收获的更宝贵的东西，远比登顶来的更重要。在回到喜羊羊山的时候，刚好中午，天色尚早，博士又给我们耐心的做了alpine的基本training, 如何操作，非常有用的知识。video还在我的相机里，有空我传上来，和大家一起分享。

和你们一起出行真的很开心，谢谢你们带给我美好的一天，轻松愉快，无拘无束。crown, 我们会回来的！相约在六月。

大家选择走下去BCMC，而不乘坐缆车！遇到Dada，无法拒绝照片的机会。

Gary 昨天教过我:
望山跑死马 = 谓眼看着似近而实际很远。= Looked easy but it never happened.

赞! 出自小猫之爪的韵文旋律如同优美的诗歌:)

跟随小猫的爪脚印，感觉又回来了, 默契而温馨.  让我想起了一年前与小猫徒步，小猫的后背总是我下一个路标。现在，有两个移动性的路标在我前面行走, 非常心安。谢谢博士与小猫也带给我美好愉快的一天 :cb:

感觉又回来了, 默契而温馨. I have the exact same feeling as yours.
My dear partner, please don't let me miss you again, :wink: . Let's keep hiking and climbing. I really enjoy hiking with you. The days without you are different, 13 months and 25 days. Welcome back, my good friend!
:favor: :aa10:

Thanks Doctor for the nice pictures. I like these moving pictures, captured the real moments!
Although I like climbing up with steep slope, but from the picture you took I can tell I was so happy to go down :lol: :lol:

这张照片被拍在往CrownPass去的时候。严格的说，不在走下去。当时我们还没有被打败了。我们能闻胜利的味道。8)

There is a concept of cold snow too. Basically you want to see cold snow on top of warm snow, otherwise it is less stable. To measure vertical temperature gradient we sometimes carry snow thermometers. Once you detect warmer layer on top you better stay away from it. Here is how same area terrain looked next day, unlikely survivable in my opinion:

Cool, Let's meet up. By the way, how to stop the watch, add some H20, or something?
