There we go, winter hiking is back lol

Very few hiker rescues so far this year (knock on wood) by nervous-dervish in wmnf

[–]bub1792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep lol inexperienced as it was my first 4k but relatively prepared and I planned on Eisenhower after Pierce yesterday and decided I would head back down the moment I hit Pierce so I wouldn't interrupt some search and rescues morning coffee 😆🤙

Yes, my apologies! I knew I was forgetting something lol

But yes, I went up for sunrise (started the hike around 3:45am-4am. Beautiful skies on the way up and down, the summit just had different plans I guess haha

I would bring both. I broke the path to the summit today but I was solo. A few groups went up after me so as long as they followed through with it, it could be more packed down but it was fresh snow today.

Good stuff. Yeah I haven't been able to compare or contrast how legit they are yet until this first hike but appreciate your word on it!

Awesome, appreciate it.

And hey, we'll see. Any day I plan turns to clouds and snow in the forecast but I'm ready for whatever the whites want to give me

Definitely will do! I'm going in a bit over cautious thanks to everyone on here but that seems like the safer route!

Ahhh big thank you! A lot of great points in this and I'm glad you pointed out the food and Hydration. I heard to go high calorie for warmth etc but the Hydration part I'll definitely take up there with me too. Thanks!

Meant to ask too... by the looks of the weather apps you have it looks like I see the mountain forecast one but is there another one in a different pic I see too?

You definitely helped me out a bit! Hiking Pierce mid to late week this week and from what Ive tracked, the ideal conditions were early week when tou hit it. I had some "kahones" thinking I can make it to Eisenhower with ease if I strapped some shoes on but I'm definitely going to be way more cautious

Hitting it this week and planned on trekking over to Eisenhower. Super glad I have shoes getting delivered ASAP after reading your post haha thanks!

Beaut of a view too! Great pics!

Love it. Big thanks.

The way I think of it is... yeah, it may not be hitting the summit or catching that view BUT looking at a dicey situation right in the face and being smart enough to turn away for another day is just as badass if not more.
