Six cars at the TH when we started out 8:45am SA. We had drizzly rain along the way but partly sunny at the summit. This trail is a steady uphill grind and very rocky until we hit the snow. There was a lot of water and in some places it felt like we were hiking in a creek bed. 2 miles in we put on micro spikes due to snow and ice. We did see a few hikers without spikes but they looked like they were still slipping with every step. We did run into the aggressive birds at the top as mentioned in previous trip reports. It was partly cloudy when we hit the big rocks right before the summit and we were able to enjoy views of the reservoir and mountains. Not my my favorite hike - too rocky!!!
