We got a perfect weather window for our second attempt. Hike was snowy and brought mountaineering gear to scramble up the creek, through the gully, and then up to the ridge line and bowl before the final summit push. Top was epic for about 5 minutes before winds pushed clouds into the view. Descent included glissading and better weather.
