Mount Baden-Powell, 7.8 miles with a 2700 ft elevation gain.
Six-pack of peaks #4
80% of the trail was covered by snow, with switchbacks only in the initial part of the hike. It’s one of the most technically difficult hikes I’ve done this year. Mentally uncomfortable, but serves as an internal reminder to push my own boundaries. I’m so grateful for my “six-pack of peak hiking club” and our gueses from @wayoutwild_ and @ontrailwith. We made it after 12 hours on the mountain, not because we weren't fast, but because “we” as a group decided to push and help each other..

Great photo! I’ve never hiked it with so much snow.
