Bagged it along with Castle Peak with Rad. No pen in the register, so I tried using blood, which didn't work well, charcoal from a match, also didn't work well, then finally carved out my name in the cardboard of the booklet.

Bagged this peak along with Castle Peak. The ridge between Basin and Castle was mostly snow free, but the wind was howling! The summit of the peak was still covered in snow, as was the final ascent. Excellent standing glissades on the way back. Great hike in combo with Castle.

This was a fun snowshoe day with Matthew, visiting also Castle Peak and Andesite Peaks. It's a very easy walk (even in snowshoes) from Castle Peak. Trip Report
