This was amazing. Dan, my boyfriend and I got to use crampons and ice axes and utilize some mountaineering skills that we practiced in Mammoth.
The hike up the the Ski Hut was no problem. Once we got to the Bowl, we strapped on our crampons, chugged some energy gels, and made our ascent. This is what I am good at; I like the insanely steep cramponing over the slow steady slog of a long hike any day.
The peak was cold and windy but it was a gorgeous day.
Dude… after this hike though… my calves were wrecked. I had to walk up and down stairs like an old person for a couple of DAYS.
