Bike the Shell road until just before the the ice caves. Pulled out the GPS, only to find out that I had not loaded the track that I prepared. Doh! Oh well, lets see how we do. I found a weakness in the rock bands, and made my way up the steep loose slope. There was lingering snow, mostly avoidbale. Nothing dangerous, but it made a few spots trickier. There were still smaller rock bands to navigate. They had a lot of loose material stacked immediately above them. Finally gained the ridge and walked over to the summit.
