I got out with Jason (Illusive) today. We headed up Sturtevant, hit snow that required crampons around 4900,' and took the friendly Upper Winter Creek Trail down. Trail is pretty well, though UWC had some large down trees.
May get out for a short one with my best man tomorrow, but that's the last long one for...well... at least til next week when we are on our honeymoon in st george, utah.
We went up winter creek on Sunday. Only ran into 3 people on top. two ladies went up the other way (santa Anita?) and said it was not trecommnded. They went down with us on teh other side. It was much colder and socked in with clouds compared yto your trip.
