A quick up and back to Jackson, with some side trips. Trail icy from the start, with some sections of running water on the trail. Forgot my spikes, so crampons it was. Overkill for a lot of it, but nice to have the security on a few sections. Summit ledges were glazed over. Good views on top, but the winds and the temperature made my stay short. #41 for the W48... I just may finish this season! |
