Comments
Comments: Ascended along Lowe's Path. Used Microspikes until Log Cabin where signicant ice flows were present. Donned Crampons until part way down Valley Way. Little to no wind until Quay where it increased but manageable.


Great day above treeline with magnificent views. Good snowfields some firm, some not. Met two hikers on summit who ascended King Ravine wearing one crampon and one microspike each. Nice to be young and adventurous.
