Trip Report

We had a fine climb of Diamond Peak. Everyone did well given the low snow conditions that required some scrambling over lose rock. Even with the low snow we managed to find large enough patches of snow for glissading. The weather was great and the mosquitoes, while annoying down in the trees, weren't terrible. Good times!
