Gorgeous foliage all around. Great hike. I used my microspikes on the descent from the summit to the ridge. Others were in tennis shoes and seemed fine, but I know they were slipping more than me. Can get around snowpatches up until that last summit approach from ridge.

Tough hike, but enjoyed the short scramble to the summit. Not a great weather day, but the hail was refreshing.

Nice hike with some good friends. Lightning at the summit so not much summit lounging. Syndey's first!

Nice hike. Lost the trail coming out of the trees, as did everyone else it seems, so built a few cairns on the way down.

East Ridge from Avy Gulch
Scary day. Melting caused a rock collapse on the ridge near 12,700' that tossed me down about 15 feet. Bruised and scraped, but continued on to the summit. Camped at the saddle of UN12505 and Yale.

Avalanche Gulch- East Ridge
Climbed with Caroline & Otina. A LONG GRUELLING day of having to plow our own trench clear to the East Ridge. Then ANOTHER down off Mascot Peak in the dark making a loop back to the TH.
Great weather, great people. One of the better days this winter despite the physciality.

Great day hike.
Great day hike. I was able to hike all the way to the top without taking a break thanks to the box of oatmeal creampies consumed on the way up.

Great trip, although it was cold all day. Went a little out of the way when the clouds blocked our view. Thanfully the flog cleared enough to see the peak. Nice view at the top.
