Jewel trail well packed, barebooted to treeline. Crampons the rest of the trip. Morning snow conditions firm. Hard ice crust made crampons the the vehicle of choice to the summit. Washington summit very busy. Glad the cog wasnt messing up the mountain. Great day for sun, raccoon eyes today for sure. From summit to LOTC snow was mashed potatoes, turning to sugar as we neared LOTC. Crampons balled up often. Highway ammo is soft. Barebooting easily possible but used crampons to enjoy the steeps down.

Tremendous winter 09 farewell hike!! Great views all day,not a cloud in the sky. Most of the winter gear stayed in the pack. Was actually a bit TOO warm for winter!!

Temps at start 22 and at finish 4pm (50F)

See you next winter!
