Comments
Comments: First time up Hedgehog, conditions were overall great. Would recommend ascending the loop in a counter clockwise direction, as the steep, slippery rock faces are mostly part of the ascent. Be careful with wet ledges and rock faces, there were a few of slippery steps today. At the summit, the sun was breaking through and was joined by a slight breeze, mostly dry at the top.
