 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Lot plowed. Be careful parking directly across from the parking lot on the shoulder. I got stuck while making a U-turn. THANK YOU AGAIN to the THREE Good Samaritans who had finished around the same time as me and waited and gave me a push after I used my backpack shovel to dig out a bit. My dog thanks you too, she was patiently waiting for me to get home to go potty! |

 | Comments: |
Used Hillsounds for about the first mile and a half. When I started having to work a bit for traction I put on snowshoes and kept them on for the duration until back to the car. They provided better traction (and televators!) on the steeps before the South Peak Spur and also for the softer, deeper snow and drifting between South Peak and the summit. |
