It had snowed earlier in the week but the temps were pretty good. It was a bit breezy but sunny. We brought snowshoes because we have been turned around more than once when the snowshoes were left in the car. The snow was a bit isothermal and it got icy under foot quickly. Getting on the ridge was a bit more challenging and we opted to go down another way avoiding the crux. A short but nice day out. If it wasn't for teh snow we would have gone for Hearts Peak as well.
