Hellish Bushwack
              
              
                
                Having had no luck in finding the herd path, Markus and I decide to try and bushwack straight to the summit.  Bad Idea.  What follows is 2 and a half hours of unimaginably dense brush, with spruce traps covering pits in the snow over 6 feet deep.  During a one hour period we manage to cover less than 200 metres.   Here Markus attempts to wallow out of a tricky spot.
