Icicle Ridge Thru-HikeSnagged this summit while doing a snowshoe thru-hike from the Fourth of July TH to the Icicle Ridge TH. Snowshoes were not really required until around 300-400 vertical feet from the summit. The whole summit area was caked in snow with fine ice pieces underneath. Spent some time brushing off snow in order to find a route right below the summit. Ended up just using the rod in the summit to pull myself and lower myself down. Kind of a nasty place to be in the winter during a whiteout. Still though, a ton of fun.

Glad I Brought My SlingBringing my sling assisted me with reaching the true summit. The ridge still had some snow, which added to the enjoyment and serenity of the trip.
