8 miles of hiking • 3000' elevation gain •
Beautiful sunny day. So warm. Lower mountain did not refreeze overnight. We forgot snowshoes. I thought there would be a good bootpack- nope. It was total mashed potatoes, posthole city, exhausting. Very thin coverage on the Worm flows, so we were able to scramble along the rock spine for a bit, but that was slow too. Then I tweaked my knee and became very worried about further injury, so we turned around. Stressful climbing down, but was such a pleasant view! Lesson learned.
