 | Comments: |
Trail was well packed, light traction sufficient for most of the trip. Snow was looser closer to the summit and conditions pretty icy above treeline. Only encountered two other hikers on the trail, also in light traction.
Made it past treeline, but didn't summit due to very strong winds above treeline. Temperatures in the teens with lots of cloud cover and some light snow during our trip. Fun descent: did some sledding on the way down. |
