Windy on the ascent – expected wind of 10 mph at the top… but the worst was on the way up. Once at the summit it was sunny, clear and no wind!! Perfect day. Highly recommend microspikes for the decent – areas of snow close to vertical drops – snow packed and sometimes icy in spots. Super tired after the hike – but glad we did it!!
