Long hike in with snow, snowshoe through beautiful terrain for what seems like forever, fun climbing and scrambling, summited in a whiteout...descended and got out after dark. good fun though, climbed it with two good friends of mine
Climbed with my brother and aunt/uncle. It was HOT and trail was like a superhighway, but hike was enjoyable and great views (esp. of Mt. Shasta) from the summit.
This was one of my "TO DOS" for this year, and my 3rd peak greater than 10,000 feet in less than 30 days. That's a new personal best for me. Of course I will be trying to improve on that.
