 | Comments: |
Mountain Forecast predicted partly sunny skies and I got to see them as I finished the hike. I waited for about a half hour at the summit in hopes the skies would clear, but the views favored the later starts today. Trail is a waterfall in places. Snow begins just under 3k feet. Barebooted the whole way up thanks ton firm and sticky monorail with very little ice. Used spikes on descent to aboit 2800’. |
