Well could not pass up the nice day but we got a late start. We ran into a familiar face which was nice and then we hoped for some snow so it would get colder for the black flies to go away. They shouldn't be out this early in my opinion. We stayed barebooting until almost liberty springs campsite. We only saw 7 people out for the day and all were women which we found interesting. Once on the top of liberty the flies would hit when the very small breeze would come around. Once we headed over to flume is where the snow became more of a mess. Not a grate monorail all the way and is very sloppy going. Happy to have this done for May for sure! We had both summits to ourselves though which was nice. We kept spikes on for a little longer on the way down and thankfully a small breeze came about to keep the bugs at bag.
