90% of the 9.5 mile hike is snow covered, with some sections having well over a foot. The top 1,600' from the saddle are much more difficult due to the bolder fields being mostly covered. Still very doable, but add a few hours to your expected time, and be very careful so you don't fall in between the rocks. We kept a somewhat slower pace and it took 11 hours, 5 hours of which was the 2.5 miles from the saddle, to the top, and back. |
