 | Comments: |
I hiked up 2/21 and spent the night in the cabin at the top. temp dropped to zero overnight but I was able to stay warm with a -15 degree bag and plenty of hot water from the stove I brought. The first 2 miles of my hike up were pretty laborious breaking trail through the snow drifts as it didn't look like anyone had hiked on it in a couple weeks. 2 other hikers joined me and helped break the trail to the summit. Hike down the next morning was great. Another 3-5 inches of snow to clear through but uneventful.
Feel free to e-mail me with questions or requests for photos. |
