| Comments: |
Very, very cold this morning, -25 below. Started later in morning due to temps. Trail mostly filled in from light blowing snow from its most recent activity a week ago, and at the higher elevations, trail completed obscured Overcast, cloudy, cold, and windy at summits with flurries all around. Steep pitch and slow going just before reaching the flatter col. Correct date of hike was Wednesday |
