Ascent Trip ReportDrove to Hwy 2 & turned off up rough 4x4 road to TH. Trail distinct but overgrown, very steep and steady uphill with few level spots. Encountered foggy conditions, near white out for a brief period then popped out of clouds about the time we encountered steady snow near 4400'. Snow travel and route finding skills necessary on snow to summit area. Summit and 1 summit campsite melted out. A sleety'ish rain mixture started for about an hour on the way down. Engineering flagging tape markers are deteriorating fast & needs to be reflagged.
