| Comments: |
I did not get to the trailhead until about 1:00 pm today and met about 9 people coming down. They all had left together at about 9:00am and reported that it had taken them 4 hours to break trail and get to the summit of Starr King. I made it in 2:15. The top of the ridge was extremely windy and I am glad I had a balaclava, hand warmers, and an extra layer. |
