Reading time: 3 mins

We revisited Las Alegas later in December and there was snow, remember this post with little snow. We walked up a big fire break, Brett and Michelle came along with us for a great day out.

When we got to just below the rocks, the hu’mans practised their winter skils, ice axe breaking, belays, cutting steps in ice etc. They thought it would be funny to attach me to an icescrew and test the strength of it!

So we moved up to the rocks so the humans could do their climbing in the snow gullies. We took a siesta!
