Crazy weekend finishing my winter presidentials for the season. 20-30 degrees, full sun and no clouds...throw in no wind and it was an incredible day. We head out on Jewell on snowshoes until we hit the last summit climb to Jefferson where we switched to spikes. Crampons on the way down from Jefferson and then spikes again over Adams 5 and up to Mount Adams. Crampons on the backside of Adams and then spikes again. We hit Quincy as well and then went to the hut to wait for the other half of our group who also summited Madison (we didnt need it).
