Skined/bootpack
Happy to have crampons and an ice axe. Probably could have skinned a bit higher with ski crampons.

Pretty direct way down. Fast return! Ski conditions at the top weren't great, but they were nice on the lower ramp and on the Swiss glacier. Hermit path was pretty skied out, but held pockets of powder.

We carried ropes and wore our harnesses/gear on the glacier. We didn't see any sagging or signs of crevasses.
Happy to get this one! Will return on a clear day

I think there would have been one bergschrundt on the way to the Rogers Swiss col. Nice one! I really enjoyed Mt Rogers.
