We started off in the dark. There was snow and ice from the beginning. The snow was covering the ice. Not bad going up for about 4 miles. The last section was very deep snow and soft. Even with snow shoes we were post holing deep. Very windy and cold, but we were victorious.
Nice job, Nikki! 🙌 Black Butte is next on my list.
