The weather was good, near perfect. The snowbanks at the parking lot gave us a taste of what to expect. The first mile was all snowfield. After that it was intermittent, and there were a few glaciers to cross. Nothing too intense if you have microspikes, and/or poles. As we climbed, the views of the surrounding ranges, including Brokeoff which we had climbed the previous day, were awesome. We had bells welcoming us to the top by team members. Can't beat the 360 view from the peak. Mt Shasta looked like it was riding high amongst the clouds.
