Could have been fun without the snow and ice but when you're desperate to get out after winter, you can't be choosy.
Hiked with Rebelgrizz and Cougar14.
First summit of 2010. Hiked through countless stretches of dangerous ice and busted through countless stretches of thigh-deep snow on this trail to reach the summit which was virtually snow-free...go figure. This would be a fantastic hike in late May or June...but then you would have to battle the mosquitos. Summitted with Cougar14 and one very tough Kitty.
Started out as a nice hike, but a crappy day. Then we started encountering lots of ice and snow on the trail which made it harder. Later in the day the sun came out which helped lift the spirits. It'd be a much nicer hike to do in late spring. Hiked with Rebelgrizz and JFK.
