Trip Report

We had 20 on the main hike and 7 others who hiked part way up. Rainy, cold, and foggy the whole time. We were up around 9, but we were a bit early, and nearly all of us except for a few hardy ones went down, meeting the other two groups on the steps who were coming up. We at least didn't break any city rules for number of people at once in the same area.
