Started at 2:45am from portal store. Climbed till 13000ft where my hiking partner due to improper equipment- clothes not warm enough got altitude sickness, exhaustion and had to turn back 2 miles from summit.
Snow condition-,doable with micro spikes and ice axe. Advice against anything less. Very windy and cold past 11,000ft
Descended around 11:56am Back at car by 5:06pm
Would like to give it another go.
