| Comments: |
This was a great day to be out, the skies were mostly blue and the winds weren't too bad.
I hiked the whole thing in Hillsounds and a friend used Kahtoolas. Another friend used full crampons towards the top. We left our snowshoes at home, and this seemed like a good decision.
It was very cold/windy at the top...needed goggles/facemask/balacava/etc.
