This was a somewhat difficult hike due to some trail erosion and elevation.  The weather was warm with a cool breeze once in while making it a very comfortable hike.  The peak was not too windy and warm and made lunch comfortable at the top.  We hiked on a Friday, so not many people on the trail and only about 10 people at the peak.  The view was good, but the air quality was not so good due to wind kicking up dust in the valley making a brown layer below the peak.  this is a great training mountain for the bigger climbs.  I would avoid this one in the snow due to the dangerous parts of the trail, you will need to be very familiar with snow axes and self arresting before going in the snow.  You should also understand the different snow conditions and what snow is safe to venture into.   One slip in a few tight areas and your sliding down a steep slope.
