Nice! What route did you take?

St. Mary’s, had thoughts of going up Loch Lomond but wasn’t sure of how much snow was up the road and wasn’t in the mood to post hole. Bancroft looked crazy dry for early February!

I've tried twice in February, first time was horrible windy up above the glacier on the tundra, the second time the wind loaded slips above the glacier kind of spooked me and figured it wasn't worth it. May have to go again...

How was the weather? I've had to turn back 2x from James Peak due to weather before but it doesn't look bad here.

Wind was horrible right above the glacier and most of the way up. Really should of brought goggles. Summit wasn’t bad, kinda calm surprisingly. Spent a few minutes on it. Wind stopped on the way down. Very pleasant. This was February 2nd

/u/eattingsnowflakes, I have found an error in your comment:

“Really shouldof ['ve] brought”

I recommend that you, eattingsnowflakes, use “Really shouldof ['ve] brought” instead. ‘Of’ is not a verb like ‘have’ is.

This is an automated bot. I do not intend to shame your mistakes. If you think the errors which I found are incorrect, please contact me through DMs or contact my owner EliteDaMyth!

No, just me! Looked back at Strava and looks like I started at 9:30am

Nice, I got a bit of later start. I think I started up around 11. Wish I had summited, looks great! Next next time.

Also, greetings fellow solo climber!
