A nice climb
We began the climb at 8:00AM near the radio towers. The access road was in great condition. A 2WD sedan made it nearly to our parking spot and several Subarus made it all the way up. The ascent was pleasant and uneventful, though warm. There was one small snow finger crossing. We spent 15 minutes at the summit which we reached at 12:00AM. The descent brought some clouds and one thunder clap, so we hurried down. A few sprinkles was the extent of the weather. There was little wind. An enjoyable climb though the loose boulders were treacherous at times My GPS Tracks on Google Maps (made from a .GPX file upload): Login required to view this map...
