There's no hiking trail to Mt. Hyak, but since it's the high point of the (now closed) ski area, it's not hard to figure out how to get there. We climbed up the Hyak face to the Outer Loop and headed to climber's right. The Outer Loop took us to Sarah's and then Sissy's and finally to the summit.
Other than getting some time outside the house, a big part of this trip was getting some time in with our ice axes before spring climbing season really begins. The Hyak face was super icy and a perfect training ground for glissading and arresting. Plus, super fast, fun, and the views were incredible at sunset.
