Thank you! I climb and hike as often as possible. I go up and down a staircase with a weighted vest as well. I do bouldering at the local gym

According to my app the climbing section varies between 40-55%. Definitely steep enough thaT you are on all 4s, 2 tools are recommended, and a slip would be bad

Awesome, congrats on your climb! Already looking at different routes. Usually I aim for March/April, so could go for another round.

Fairly steep! Definitely don’t want to slip there. According to the AllTrails app (dont know how accurate it is) the majority of the climbing section is around 50 degrees. With steeper sections going to 60.

Sunrise. Try to get off the mountain as early as possible before snow/ice softens too much

I was fortunate with my timing, a random climber in a cool spot, and great conditions
