| Nice hike. Beautiful day, temps in the high 50's. Missed the normal trail that leads to the NW summit and then over to the true summit, so ended up going around to the east and up from the NE scrambling up a 25-35 degree snow and rock face. Actually more fun that way, although it added around a half mile to the hike. Met 3 nice ladies on the summit who were celebrating a birthday, so got to sing the birthday song while wearing a sponge bob party hat! It was so nice on the summit that I stayed over an hour up there. Descended the normal trail, which has a cool view of the main summit from the NW. Up in 1:40, down in an hour. Recommended with enthusiasm. |
