Link:

Started off with light rain and once we got past Sturtevant Falls, started to some down steady. Trail at times became difficult to follow due to rain soaking the trail making it indiscernible, so having a gps app was helpful. No snow except a small patch encountered so microspikes not needed. Poles recommended, especially helpful on descent due to slippery conditions (if raining). On summit, weather turned very windy and a change of dry base layers is also recommended. Overall, nice, wet hike! Good luck everyone!
