Gorgeous day! i really lucked out. Very cold to start but calm and sunny with very good fast and packed snow, just a couple of icy spots requiring careful steps. Pretty good track from hut to summit too, some ice and some exposed rocks but enough snow for decent walking and almost no wind until the very top. One of the most enjoyable trips up the summit cone ever !
it sounded like more wind was developing later... |
