 | Comments: |
Felt good to be back on the mountain after a 13 year hiatus. White Dot was in good shape, fair number of people on the trail but not the conga line you get on really busy weekends, wet areas on the upper ledges all easily traversed. Good day to rest on the summit - Temps were comfortable, sunshine was abundant, and a moderate breeze kept the bugs away. Descended via White Cross which was rather wet making the slabs a little slick in spots, but still easy enough to make your way down with a little care and attention. |
