Used snowshoes from winter closure to about 12,800'. Breezy above 13k, but not your normal Humboldt winds... calm in fact. Once on the east ridge you'll find a spot where the trench forks... go right. We went left and ended up taking the scenic route.

Fork in the trench

Hey bro was there a good trench up there? Me and a couple friends broke trail on 3/5. We ended up not summiting because we didn’t reach tree line until noon and were exhausted from that. The trench you followed to the left is actually where we came down and intersected the trail we went up with. For whatever reason we thought it was gonna be a short cut and ended up being awful side–hilling deep snow! Sorry about that!
