 | Comments: |
Down low the trail was a frozen snowshoe track. Wore spikes from start until around 3500 ft. Put on the snowshoes then due to drifting snow starting and being able to use televators. I left them on back to the parking lot for traction and because I didn't want to stop to take them off. Snow was drifting a lot on the ridge to the summit, but not deep. I couldn't even tell I (or the people behind me) had been up the trail when I went back down. Very windy today, but not horrible in the trees. Summit temp was 2 with windchill of -14. That didn't keep one group from taking a shirtless summit photo though |
