New Year's Day hike with Jeff and Meenu. We decided to do a shorter hike to start the year. I hike this in 2016 but apparently did not summit according to my Garmin data, and I didn't remember it very well (I was so naive and unprepared too), so this was like a new hike to me, especially doing it in the winter. It was beautiful out, calm and not too cold. We used spikes but didn't need snowshoes. The chimney rock scramble was fun - that part I did remember - and the views were very nice. We started about 10 am and ended at 2 pm exactly. A great start to the year.
