Comments
Comments: There was no right choice of footwear for this one this morning. Snowshoes would have worked, or spikes, or bare boots. I used spikes round-trip. Not as much snow fell here during the storm, just a few new inches over a solid base. Some bare spots and rocks poking through. Along the ridge, winds had scoured the snow and there's a lot of bare ledge. The trails were broken out by a combo of boots, skis and snowshoes.

Gray and overcast on the summit, but naturally the sun when was out when I got back to the car. Guess I should have hung out longer. ;)
