I was planning to drive to the saddle between Horse and Range, but the Chev skidded out on a steep switchback in the snow. So, I parked it and we walked from there. We probably could have made it to the saddle in about an hour, but decided to dive off onto the ridge above the road after about 40 minutes.
It was a good choice. It took at least two hours to cover the ridge and slide down the shoulder to the road. The ground was steep but, aside from one ill-advised fifth-class move that nearly left me with a cracked skull, we managed to keep our footing all the way down.
