| Comments: |
Light snow at the base and boots were fine for the ascent. Snow was a little deeper near the summit. The visibility was good and the views of Washington were awesome.
The snow on the south side of the mountain was a little deeper and the way down was slippery so we used crampons. Micro spikes would be fine but some traction is needed if you don't want to fall a few times. All in all an awesome day.
Thanks to the White Buffalo for taking us out today. |
