Ascent Trip ReportGot a late start and ran out of daylight at about 90 to 95% point. Snowed most of day with temps in teens. Made camp and spent the night on the mountain. Temp 8 degrees and very windy. At 2:30 AM a search party looking for us showed up. After dispensing gator aid, sawing up some wood for us and determining we were not in danger, they departed. They recommended we head down the mountain in the morning. That is what we did, the mountain will be there another day.
