As we were munching on our lunchies, we were pleased to see Ewart make the summit 15 minutes after we arrived. Good show!
The sun briefly came out, illuminating the trees gloriously against a dark background.

Winter Wonderland, part II
The way down... could best be described as fast and furious! The snow conditions were perfect for a nice, fast, cushy descent. Couldn't ask for better! one hour and roughly forty minutes later, we were back at the car, making it a very respectable five hours and forty minutes or so since we left. Good job, all, and really, quite a fantastic little hike!
