Brutal. The wind was strong from the beginning at 7am...and all the way up. Took Kite Lake to Democrat to Cameron, skipped out on Lincoln because of the discomfort and complete lack of ANY breaks from the wind. The temp was around 20, but with the 60+ mph gusts, it was WELL BELOW ZERO. From Cameron to Bross did settle SLIGHTLY. Do not be confused, it was still rough, physically pushing me over 3 times...I weigh 120. Not as much snow on the way up, but on the way down, drifts were at 2ft+ in many places and trail was covered with snow most of the way down.
