We descended into a drainage on the western slope of the ridge between Nye and Street. Had we ascended due east at that point, we would have located the vlei where the former herdpath crossed. We continued to follow the existing course and made the summit of Street within 40 minutes. The time between canisters was 1 hour and 10 minutes. After descending Street, we returned to the col and followed a 44 north bearing which reconnected us to the route we followed up.
Snow depths are incredible and flotation is absolutely necessary.
Trekking poles were used by each member of group. Crampons were not necessary during any part of the day. Plenty of water and food to remain hydrated and replace the calories lost from this strenuous endeavor. It was a great day with a determined, resourceful and thoughtful group.
