 | Comments: |
Chilly day above treeline. Monorail was solid all the way up with no major crossings. Only spikes were necessary. We got to the summit a little earlier than expected so it was very windy and socked in at the summit. Visibility was less than 10ft and the wind chill was pretty brutal. Winter conditions for sure and no signs that it will be letting up! Don't forget the extra layers and emergency gear for above treeline in winter (I packed lighter than usual and regretted it when I got up there). Full trip report with pictures on my blog! |
