"A buddy and I tried to hike Ben Lomond. We made it about 150ft from the summit but some steep grades and deep snow pack stopped us since we did not have crampons or spikes. We settled to summit Chilly Peak and call it a day. We had to bushwhack on the back end because a trail along the ridge ended when we tried to take it and get better views, but it made for a funny story. We will be back! " — mchikes • May 21, 2021
"It was later in the afternoon and I wanted to see if I could make to Ben by sunset. I wasn't sure how far I was going to make it before I hit the snow. It was nice to see the trails nice and dry for a majority of the trip. It really wasn't until I hit the Jct where the North Frok trail meet up at the base of Ben. The rest of the way it was pretty much a crap shot. I went shouth where the ridge was pretty clear of snow. As I got closer to the Peak I could see the shadow of a Goat watching over me. I really didn't expect it would be there when I reached the top, but to both our suprise it was. I startled the Goat as I rounded the last little bit to the Peak. I sat for an hour and watched a small heard below me. The sun started getting lower and I decided to get off the snowy ridges while I could still see. The last two hours were in the dark but it was nice and peaceful. Another awesome hike." — CacheMACS • Jun 23, 2017
