Ascent Trip Report

Climbed from Schoolhouse Springs through the Hamongogs. Quite a bit of snow from ~9200 feet up. Basically followed the south ridge up, but stuck to the south/southwest a bit because the snow was starting to soften on the southeast aspects. Great spring mountaineering objective. A few good glissades back down to the trail.
