I started early in the morning around 730 am after filling out the permit. I hiked to the saddle and took a break from there, trail was clear from snow. made my way to the second saddle with minor snow on trail. Once you start heading up to the summit it becomes harder as the snow is melting creating potholes I tried to follow the steps of previous hikers. At the summit weather was warm I pitched my tent and enjoyed the views as it started to get dark I settled in my tent wind gust started around 1000pm and didn't stop until the early hours Sunday morning I slept in missing the sunrise nonetheless beautiful time as I had the peak all to myself! took me six hours to ascend and three to descend!
