| Comments: |
We barebooted up to about 2800 and then put on microspikes and kept them on up to the summit and then back down to about 2300. There was an ice field at about 3100 that required either traction or going off trail - microspikes were fine. We started at about 2:30 and had the entire mountain to ourselves. |
