| Hit solid snow at 4,500'. Snow conditions were great, got to 6,350' at 8:45PM. It was here on our last ascent to the peak, a large, fast moving storm out of the south brought winds, snow and thunder/lighting. We retreated to cover as dense fog came into the timber, we lost the hard to follow trail and were forced to camp in a dry cave for the night. Walked out by compass in the early morning light. We will be back. |
