Northeast & East Ridges
Solo snowshoeing trip. I would recommend this approach to anyone attempting Ten-Four Mountain... but only if 3-4' deep snowpack is above 3500' elevation. No brush or blowdown problems due to snowpack. The boulder "crux" section looked worse than it actually was for me. I used snowshoes, one trekking pole, and one ice axe during the trip. Low clouds prevented outward views where they would otherwise be available. This successful summit meant a lot to me because Ten-Four Mountain is the closest P2K to my childhood home/hometown.
