| Comments: |
As temps were in the high-teens to low-twenties, the trail was well consolidated and barebootable... although microspikes seemed warranted given the steep pitch.
Numerous ledges and view spots on this 52wav peak.
Side trip (signed) to the historic lime kilns well worth the few extra minutes. |
