i went up and down solo flight. i started a bit later in the morning to let the snow soften because i didn’t want to carry spikes and an ax, and this plan worked decently well. there was a lot more snow still out there than i expected! i had to traverse several steep-ish snow fields, kicking steps in my hokas. a little spooky but also kinda fun?? once i got up on the ridge i tried to stay pretty true to the knife edge. difficulties didn’t exceed low/mid 5th, but it was pretty slow going. i dropped down a bit on my way back to the notch, and this was much easier, but i had to backtrack a bit and make some thoughtful moves to get up and around the sus snow covering what i can only assume was the 4th class route. mostly chilled on the way down, the snow made moving quickly difficult until a bit below mirror lake. i made it back to my car just as the thunder and rain started. this is such a pretty peak, i think i need to come back at least 2 more times to (1) do this same route but fast when the snow is gone and (2) check out the N face and the Mohling traverse.
