Admin’s Trip Reports

Another winter cabin stay on Mt. Alander. Cold nights with drafts from the door and lack of heat, but the stove was working "well" when we had it on. We did have one mishap with the stove where a small fire started outside of the cabin on a connecting pipe. We put that out immediately - I forgot how to we solved the issue, but luckily that was the only issue on that trip. Noting this, it's smart to not to fall asleep with the stove on just in case. The hike up the mountain wasn't easy per usual, especially in icy conditions, so ice spikes and trekking poles helped tremendously. Summit was freezing with consistent strong winds, but nothing unusual for a winter hike to the summit of Mt. Alander.
