What a challenging hike, I almost turned a couple times due to rain and wind but wanted to make it to at least the first peak. The weather slowed down as I approached the knifes edge and slow and steadily made it across that section (those mossy rocks are slippery). Struggled in certain climbing sections since I broke my left shoulder and then hand this year (and had a poor baseline upper body strength). Made it to Baxter peak- it was cloudy, but the the sun came out on the way down and the views were amazing and totally worth it. The final stretch was nice and easy and once you could smell camp fires you knew you were almost done.
