it has been a long time since i have been up here. a cold wintery day seemed like a good time to come back.

pretty much a freezing morning and climb all the way up but crystal clear and otherwise pleasant. made pretty good time most of the day and just tried to generally keep it moving to stay warm.

met a couple guys above the campground on the way to the summit. they had camped the night before and said it was frickin freezing but they did fine. they said there was water a bit downstream in juniper basin.

spent about 15 minutes on the summit eating salami and cheese, like the refined gentleman i am,

was pretty cold by then. nice uneventful trip down.

feels good to be rambling around a little bit more in the rincons. got turned around a few times up higher but nothing major
