Started in the clouds but the day got better with each passing hour. Got to see some distant undercast from the head of Cascade Brook. Once above the trees it was a gusty and a bit cool but the winds and clouds gradually disappeared making for a very nice afternoon above treeline.
I had the entire ascent up to Jefferson's cone to myself where there were about 10 people there. On my way to Adams there were some thrus and other backpackers but when I got to Adams early in the afternoon there were only about 6 people there so it was a nice opportunity to linger. On descent, other than four people above Abagail I didn't see a soul all the way back to the car. |
