Ascent Trip ReportI climbed Meeker with hiking buddy Marco and his friends, Jeff and Ray. We got an early start: 4AM, and surprisingly, there were plenty of empty spaces in the lot. I guess some hikers had been scared off by thunderstorms the previous day. Ray had been up here before, so he was invaluable in finding the correct route at the ridges. I went to the true summit, around 8:30. The others were content with staying on the summit ridge. The weather was clear until around 9:30-10AM, when clouds started rolling in. It was overcast by the time we got back to the trailhead. |
