nice going to north and middle and a good mild day. hadn't been on these guys in almost 10 yrs. very nice. been thinking about the south peak for a while so today was the day. went far right down the ledges to lessen the danger. the b'wack was a mix of open woods, some moderate thick stuff and a little of everything else including ice/snow up higher between low spruce. did see a snowshoe hare. the summit is fabulous, what views. there is even a register with only 5-6 signers including me. if you don't mind a rip roaring b'wack this is well worth it. terrific summit! did use the spikes up high for a while. |
