Comments
Comments: Great day. Wind gusts could knock you off balance up on the ridge, but only when exposed to them like the overlook on the North Summit or reaching the cairn on the south. Visibility was great.

Some signs of others post-holing, but I never did. had snowshoes, but never needed them. Diamond Grips or Microspikes worked perfectly.
