Comments
Comments: The top you will need crampons, trekking poles and an ice axe if you have one. The rock outcrops up top are all ice with snow on top. It was hard to navigate where the trail was. The wind was howling up top today. The ice, wind, and rocks made it a pretty treterous climb to the top. The summit is not for novice hikers.

Happy hiking everyone!
