Ascent Trip Report

1st hike of the New Year! Started at 8 AM. Total fog until we were halfway down. At 11 AM the valley cleared and the summit was just clearing when we got to the car around noon.

Ice encountered starting at 2300'. Micro spikes were helpful (and almost necessary). Snow line was at 2700'. There was only about 2" of snow at the summit.
