The route page mentions lightning, but I think it deserves extra mention here.
For me on this trail, that was the single most memorable thing.
Impressive!
and there is no escape.....
Hey Liba - I'm planning to do a early winter ascent of this the 2nd week of December. What would you recommend? Skinning or snowshoes to the summit ridge. Typically is the snow deep enough on the summit ridge for snowshoes?
