Trails were dry down low, then just a bit snowy, but once we got up towards the summit, it became much icier. We waited longer than we should have to put on the microspikes. Sun was out while we were at the summit, but the cloudbank to the southwest was coming in quickly. Summit temp was 24F and winds were under 10mph. Trip off the summit towards Mizpah Hut was interesting with snow and ice-covered ledges, then the trip across to the Hut involved a lot of crusty ice with inches of mud underneath.
Despite all that, it was a fun day out, and we were back in time to take care of all the chores awaiting us! Thanks MJ! Photos are posted but it'll take me a little longer to get the whole story up. |
