We had about 1000 feet to go. The climb was tough here. Clouds were moving in and out and it was quite cold for May - about 30 degrees. Everytime a cloud moved in front of the sun the snow hardened quickly. The face is steep and was becoming icey. None of us had crampons...that will not happen again. Jessie also made her own poles:
Eventually we struggled to a false summit, which really pissed me off. We had to cross another scary cornice that really got to me. Luckily Jarred went full steam ahead and we stayed as far back from the edge as possible. Another 200 feet to go:
Eight miles, 3600 vertical feet, and seven hours into our day we made it. My stupid summit pose:
I will post the descent soon...
