Comments
Comments: excellent clear day, 30ish, light S wind @ summit. fine views all around to horizon. wonderful pink granite terrain and low pine subarctic foliage.
Nota bene: easily avoidable ice and snow until open slanted ledges, where large areas of ice and wet rock made footing difficult, even with microspikes-would have used crampons if in pack. summit of Dor wide open around cairn. started to Cadillac, but ice on trail made the ravine crossing hazardous, turned back to S ridge descent
