 | Comments: |
Snowed the entire time leaving about 2 inches of fluff. No views and it was windy on the summit. 25mph average with gusts to 34mph. 14 degrees with -8 windchill.
Barebooted up to Halfway House site, then put on microspikes for Sidefoot Trail. Left them on the rest of the hike. Coming down the White Arrow, there is LOTS of ice from the Amphitheatre Trail crossing to the Halfway House site. Falling snow made this hard to see without checking each step first. Still took a couple spills. Crampons would have been nice here. |
