Entry text: "12/14 (SD) Had an epic adventure today. Skied up the drainage to Andrews confluence, then left to base of talus slope. Temperatures were below zero F, but calm conditions. Took off the skis and started climbing the talus, and the wind picked up. By the time we reached Glass, the wind was roaring. Picked up the sampling tube, meter tape, and boat pump + continued on to Sky Pond. Chopped a hole in the ice - it was about 18" thick and installed sampling tube."
