This is route is mainly snow all the way. Warning: if you’re planning on a bivouac in the parking lot on a Friday or Saturday night don’t expect any sleep. The symphony of car doors slamming, entry door beeps, locking beeps and cars arriving every 1/2 hour all night long ( no exaggeration) and inconsiderate people talking, whistling, laughing, went on all night long ( sprinter van a-holes). This is one big party. The parking lot and overflow lot were over capacity with cars strung out along the road. Try for a week day like I normally do.

Ugh this sucks. I really miss the days when people respected the outdoors and other people. The narcissist a-holes have ruined it for everyone else. Kill social media and the majority of these people would find another activity, they're only doing it for the "social credit".

Appreciate your comment. I’m going to use that “social credit” line.
I summited a couple times in the early 90’s and maybe had 10 people on the route. I counted on string of 19 people.

Amen. I got there Sunday night and there were only 2 other cars in the lot. One showed up during the night but everyone was quiet. I can’t even imagine a Friday or Saturday night when I wanted sleep. “Social credit” love it!
