The day started out nice. Here is Mt. Siyeh from the trail. The peak has a small cloud on it.
Heading up a dry stream bed to the base of the mountain.
Through a meadow of wild flowers.
I think it's that way. photo by David Schuler

We have made it up through the cliff band. About to go around the permanent snow field.

We made it to the ridge. The wind is picking up and some snow starting to fall.
The worst summit photo ever. Here is the gang, 40mph wind with heavy snow stinging our faces. Left to right, John Barnes, Patrick Mahmiash, John Ellis, Matt Marcinek, David Schuler, Kevin Mikelson, and Tom Nelesen. Not pictured me, I had to hold the camera
We dropped down from the summit before trying to find a wind break to have some lunch.
