On this cold and windy day the decision was made to dedicate it to Mt Cabot and Scott's 100th peak of the year. It also finished his second full round and contributed to his winter peaks. Right on! We headed up at a reasonable hour and were on the trail just after 8am. Snowshoes right from the car to the peak and back. The snow got pretty deep but the going wasnt too bad. We only saw two others all day. It was extremely cold! We were able to hunt around and find the "official" summit. Great day out and congratulations Scott on a job well done! And many more to come. |
