Unbelievable day. Sunny, clear, almost no wind on the top. South peak was nice too. Tons of people out.
Trail was really frozen solid. Some ice in spots with mini bushwhacks around them. Microspikes the whole way for me. Most others I saw were in the same. Saw a couple in crampons the whole way. That would be fine too, especially the last mile to the top. Hardly any snowshoes. A touch more snow on the spur to south peak. I missed the monorail letting someone by and sunk to my hip and didn’t feel the ground - wow.
Real easy hiking out there generally. What a day! |
