finally got a chance to get over to this beauty...the hike was awesome, and the views were incredible. one of the best michigan has to offer, no doubt!
Soloed from the Wetmore Ponds trailhead in a pleasant third day blizzard. Unfortunately no visibility at the summit but I really enjoyed the whole experience as Hogback really had a nice elevation gain at the end with some traversing neccessary to reach the top.
With the few trees, lots of snow and ice on and around the summit, as well as the cliffy features at the top, this tiny little mountain had quite the pleasing alpine(ish) feel.
