Nice and frozen this morning at 5:30 to 8am. 108 still has ice on it just beyond the gate. The Long trail is quite consolidated and solid. Some mix of ice and snow on the chinny chin chin. I used Hillsounds but some would be more comfortable with crampons.
The sunrise easter service was going on as I climbed there was a line of headlights waiting to get in. Great Sunrise btw. Two people on the summit, saw another to my left. None on my route up and back. |
