Day 0: Picked up wilderness permits for Inspiration XC zone at Marblemount RS.
Day 1: Camped at snow saddle near the Tepeh Towers. Absolutely fantastic views and complete solitude.
Day 2. No easy snow ramp to access the rock route. After spending over an hour exploring various options and finding none we were happy with, we reluctantly turned around.
