We woke up early on day two with plans to climb Kingfisher via its (easiest route) Northeast Ridge route. The weather looked marginal even at the trailhead and by the time we got to the base a snow storm rolled over us. We hiked back in defeat and killed off the remainder of the day on some sightseeing on the Island In The Sky.
