"Challenging skiing on the icy crust above the treeline. Survival skiing in the canyon. Wasted probably more than an hour to find a lost ski. Oh well, at least it was a nice day out. I stayed on the summit in a T-shirt." — Taras • Apr 17, 2021

"Pretty mellow day. Not much snow to deal with, attempted Goat as well, snow forced us into a couple 5th class sections. descended into Jura Creek, makes for a really nice walk. Minor bushwack to the creek just to keep out of some of the loose terrain. Fun day, loads of exploring can be done!" — justinj • Apr 10, 2021

"With the past cooler weather solidifying the top layer+ snow settling/blowing into the drainage snow is pretty deep, knee high for the most part. Very easy to punch through, can be a slog (recommend snowshoes/poles) but relatively easy for the first 1/2. The second 1/2 of the hike is mostly a 45° but its very hard if not impossible to see the trail/ground; its very steep snow and easy to slip and slide down (like a "U" shaped valley collecting all the snow deposits). A little unsettling to cross vast portions of snow like this since there is nothing to grab onto once you fall. This is why as per my recording I ventured to the right side (towards Mt. Rimwall). Topped out and traversed the false summit back to the trail for the last 2-300m what I saw was a massive deposit of inclined snow in the narrow portion with the high winds wisping more snow onto it. Honestly the hike is beautiful, there is a flock of big horned sheep living there so that's cool! I would recommend this hike but not with the amount of snow currently settled. On a high note I did get to Glissade down the snowy portion, with extra caution of course." — Blasehead • Apr 10, 2021

"A relatively easy day. We started up the logging road, eventually getting off the logging road and on to the Spirko route. and as we kept following the Spirko route we kept crossing logging roads. At a certain point we opted to follow the logging road south and that took us to a place directly below the east face of the summit. We worked out way across the slash and up the steep east face. If you do this during summer, you could use a bike for the approach and have a lot of fun biking down the logging roads." — BertB • Apr 10, 2021
