Maine-iac Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I was up on Devil's Kitchen yesterday morning. Was on top around 10am. We left Timberline parking lot around 230 or so and it was still very nice. There was a light wind the entire climb, but nothing major. The snow conditions were fantastic. Some clouds had blown in by 330 or so. I saw a group of people at I-saddle maybe around 430 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
