Trip Report

After rescheduling from Friday, we had a much smaller group. We moved fast and had the mountain mostly to ourselves. Winds were forecasted to be 20 mph and certainly were that amount in places on the approach and the ridge, but was otherwise mostly protected. We made pretty good time, leaving the cars around 5am and back around 3pm. Once we were above the smoke, the day was quite beautiful.
