Did not summit, but reached 14,240 ft and headed back due to weather. But, overall a great hike...or shall I say snow shoe. Used these whole way except for 1st 0.75 miles. Road clear to TH. Snow wet with post holing despite snow shoes in the forest. Snow much easier to handle above tree line. The ridge line that we did complete was w/o cornice formation...think there was some cornices on actual summit. We camped 2 miles in from TH the night before but got a later start than planned. Had we gotten 3 miles in the 1st night (as initially planned), probably would have reached the top.
