Well I went for willard and quickly turned around and went for pierce instead! I passed 2 guys putting their spikes on at the trailhead . I barebooted to 4000 but slipped only a few times. I then had met 1 guy who said the drifts are too high to get with spokes to the summit so I put my snowshoes on. The 1 drifter before the sign was it. Easy up to the summit. Windy as hell but had a dance party with myself before heading back down. I kept my snowshoes on until the hut junction then spikes to the road. It is winter peoples!!!! |
