Comments
Comments: We were a party of 6. I ascended in snowshoes mainly for the televators but microspikes were fine for the others. No post-holing on trail as it was hard pack frozen. On descent I switched to K10s for the better grip.

We were attempting Washington but decided against it after getting to the Monroe summit. Wind and visibility were a factor in the decision.
