Rafal had this one high on his list for quite some time and upon being invited I jumped at the chance. These plans came together right from the summit of the previous mountain I climbed, McGillivray. Ali Sekera also came for this trip. The hike in went pretty quick and without much trouble. We scrambled over the ramparts and dropped in on the other side. The fire from a few years ago was quite evident. We didn't sideslope but took the gentle line right at the edge of the trees. to the scree cone. We headed up, strapped on crampons and headed up the snow filler gully. I would recommend mountaineering boots with a good set of crampons. I did it by means of strapping crampons on my hiking boots but I would have preferred my mountaineering setup. The scrambling above the snow was loose but nothing crazy. We got bitten by mosquitoes a hundred times each. The walk out was pleasant as there were endless fields of wildflowers.

A great trip with great company.
