 | Comments: |
We started up the North side and were grateful for those who were using snowshoes ahead of us. The ridge was difficult due to blowing snow, wind, cold and the absence of blazes. Two hikers were ahead of us and led the way. We slid down the south peak in about 15 minutes. A great hike! |
