The forecast was questionable for the higher summits but showed the winds dying down later so we started late and ended up having an incredible day! We didn't see any other hikers. Definitely needed full crampons up high; tons of ice up there. The trails were packed ice and snow. We went up and down Valley Way to avoid the rocks on the Airline trail and stayed on Gulfside to avoid the wind going up Adams. Another great outing with my niece!
