The Mayor and I had a great winter warmup hike. Snowed all the way up, cold and windy. No picnic on the summit, but we could stand up. As I mentioned above, there is a lot of open water, some hidden by snow. We did an Engine Hill whack and found some real boot sucking mud. But it was fun. We wore traction from about a mile and a half into the hike to the summit and then back to the same spot. Congratulations to Larry for gridding out November and Isolation. Although I know he will miss this peak. |
