Great hike in 2 ft+ snow with 25+ mph wind, ice pellet, and snowing (white out after 1 mile of climbing the boulders). First 2 miles in the tree were mostly snow free. Light snow after the tree-line through the first set of boulders. Blazed trail after first 2 sets of boulders. Pushed on after everyone turned back. Made as far as near-vertical boulders beneath Monitor Station (6379 ft elevation according to Strava, 1821 ft elevation and 1.275 miles from the crater). Weather will be better tomorrow for climbing.
