I actually set out for 8853 intending to go up and down the 4 Springs Trail and through Shovel and Pine Saddles. When it came time to head down from Pine Saddle, I wanted more, so since the sections of the Crest between Pine and Baldy Saddles are my favorite, I started up the Crest. Well, since I was passing by Mt Ian and it was early enough, and it's just right off the trail, I ended up summiting Mt Ian, too. What a nice day.

A little snow remains on the Crest trail, hard packed and icy. My expectation is the switchbacks up Wrightson are, too.

Gorgeous day. Merry Christmas.
