 | Comments: |
Cold windy day at the summit. Nice through the woods. Barebooted from the lodge to PJ ledge. Micro spikes to the summit and all the way back down. Nice packed snow trail until the upper ledges. Then walking on rocks/ice/thin snow. Near the summit I followed the herd path that stuck to the edge of the ledges and lead to the west ridge trail which I took to the summit. This avoided the steepest mixed ice/rock sections. |
