What a great day for hiking this peak. Blue skies, comfortable temperatures and excellent trail conditions. The trail is a nice hard pack end to end with some loose snow from the morning dusting. We spiked it to the Brutus then used snowshoes and televators for the climb and descent, then back to spikes for the trek out. Only one other hiker was out on Owl's today. High production for our team resulting in a winter peak for two, an over 70 for one and a peak grid out for the last. PSA: We ran into a Bonds out and back hiker who said the trail was a superhighway. |
