Trip Report

We started hiking a bit after 6am with the sky around the mountain overcast. As we climbed, the clouds broke up just in time to enjoy the summit. We had a strong group despite a couple of footwear complications and a few folks getting accustomed to the amount of exposure for which Three Fingered Jack is known.
