Late start at 11 am due to rain. Michael (leader) and I continued on snow traverse past Tin Gap (everyone else elected to stay behind). Worked non-stop to reach the lookout but at 5pm made the decision to turn around - only 1/4 mile from the summit 😣 Learned so much and tested my limits/skills. Great day overall and the clouds started clearing mid afternoon to give us a few epic views of the mountain. Hiked last two miles in dark with headlamps. Made it back to trailhead at 10 Pm. Mountain biked 9 miles back to car and arrived at midnight. In the last 4 miles caught up to the rest of our group! 💪🏼 Michael went too close to the edge of the road trying to avoid a pothole, and the car slipped in the mud off the edge, totally stuck. Fortunately, Amin made quick work by fashioning a pulley out of climbing rope. Jessmin was then able to easily pull us out with her Tesla. So thankful 🙌🏼 Home by 2am 🥱
