Windy today. Definitely not the 20mph forecast. More like 45 mph - got close to blowing us off our feet. Full face protection needed on exposed sections. Easy hike to Pierce with micros, although crampons would have been better for the summit. Hiked down to Jackson on Webster Cliff. Summit was also very icy. Bottom of Webster-Jackson Trail near 302 is very icy. Bushwhacked around the hard parts or glissaded down. |
