Met Matt at the Finger Rock trailhead and got started by 0730. First mile was easy, then it got steep, as expected. Shed my top shirt and was fine with just a sun hoodie. Snow on the trail starting about 1/4 before the turn to Linda Vista Saddle, and then snow most of the way up to the summit of Kimball. Never more than about 2” deep. I had brought traction just in case, but didn’t need to use it, so just extra weight in my pack.

Lunch at the summit, then headed back down. A few slippery spots, but no incidents. Warming up after a while, made me wish I had worn shorts. Saw about 15 other hikers on the lower couple of miles. Fun day, good workout, and good to see Matt again!
