It was a beautiful bluebird day without another soul to be seen. The trees near the summit had about an inch of freezing rain attached to them, making for an exciting time pushing through all the frozen and leaning branches. Amazing views were had at the summit as I have rarely stumbled upon a day as crystal clear.
