Got a 7am start to beat the crowds—nine of us total from the Bend Hiking Meetup. Clouds were obscuring the summit when we started the hike, but they cleared off by the time we reached the summit.

Still lots of snow on the last mile, but a lot less than on Tuesday—it’s melting fast! Microspikes highly recommended for at least then next few days.
