Climbing Cuyamaca

Great COLD start at 0715…crunchy mud and snow to cross (@ least a 1/3rd of the route was under snow.  Better to navigate by way of the conuter-clockwise route, as the clockwise approach would have posed more opportunity to slip coming down.  Speaking of that, from the peak down the paved section there is black ice in some spots…big man almost went down X2.  Headed to Alpine Brewery after the hike, which on THIS very day changed to Mike Hess.
