Winter is coming. And I love it! Great hike up with a friend today, starting at 6am and reaching the summit shortly before 8am, finding ourselves above cloud level and the sun still rising in the East! What a view! The snow is minimal, and the ice mostly avoidable until the last 1/4 mile of the hike. Micros are recommended. |
