Yes, the pavement is bare, if not dry. Last time through here we were on solid snow. We were able to walk on solid snow to the switchback before donning the snowshoes. |
 |
The ice is showing signs of Spring: clear and melty. |
 |
On the south-facing part of the route, we briefly had to boot. Then back to snowshoes. |
 |
It gets pretty steep as you near the top. |
 |
That's the summit in the background. Craig is looking pretty dynamic. |
 |
Tom looking dynamic. |
 |
Bird hamming it up. There's one in every crowd. |
 |
| Susan eyeing the possibilities of being dynamic. |  |
On top. We sat for quite a while, enjoying the nice day, the views, and the antics of the pups. |
 |
| Speaking of views, here's a zoom of Nick Peak. Definitely on the list for this summer. It has been nine years since my last time up because it takes quite an effort. |  |
| Still relaxing. |  |
| Then we had some local entertainment. |  |
| And finally, time to head down. Here, Susan takes the elevator. |  |
| But she's back up and looking strong. |  |
| My attempt at a dramatic photo. It's a work in progress. |  |
