Arrived at trailhead at 0600 and there was plenty of parking. Hiked up counter clockwise via the ski hut route, and it was a very steep ascent! Legs did not get tired or fatigued, but the altitude was slowing me down.
Steady pace to the summit with little time stopped. The summit was incredible! Very beautiful but a little chilly. Bring wind breaker next time.
