Date: 6/19/2011

 

Trip Report:

Fourth try was the charm. doesn't look like anyone reached the summit recently as at the bench tehre weren't any footprints. Had a beer and apple on the summit, hung around for about 25 minutes and headed back. Man there is some snow still out there this year. Crazy.
