Fair weather climbers that we are; it was a great day to head for the mountains. I picked the mountain and Ralph agreed to go when I told him there was a trail all the way. We left Alpentol ski area about 9 and headed up the steepest part to the ridge at 5000'. Snow was first seen about 4100' but the open, south facing slope was mostly clear above 5000'. Snow depth increased on the summit block with about 5 inches at the top (6278'). Temperature was about 30°F with a brisk easterly wind. We had lunch on the west side, out of the wind and took a lot of pictures since the views were great. We went back down following the unofficial trail taken on our ascent, arriving at Alpentol parking at 1500, and home by 1615.
