Me and Dan had to hike it all by ourselves because everyone else bailed. Somehow we survived intact. Brought spikes but didn't need to use them despite a decent amount of snow on the upper switchbacks. Great weather, on the cold side but not too windy, and the summit came out of cloud while we were up there.

I guess I should go back to climb all those other peaks I missed....
