| Comments: |
Snowed both days before hike. Accumulation significantly more at higher elevation. Half way up Glencliff trail snow was about boot-high. I summited south peak at the top of Glencliff, snow here was over boot and wind was strong with very strong gusts. Decided to attempt main summit but did not have gear for deep snow or strong wind. Low visibility as well. Leaving treeline snow drifts in trail became quite deep, up to a foot and a half. Hiked up in these conditions past treeline for a hundred meters or so before turning around. Expect significant snow especially since it is looking to snow again this coming weekend. |
