No snow at parking at 2000ft. Patchy snow started a few hundred feet up. Quickly changed to miserable un-supportive crust with no snowshoes. Persisted as un-supportive crust for 2-3 miles through the forest (never found a trail past the abandoned road, probably due to snow cover). Usually knee deep where not supportive but fell waist-deep a few hundred times. Around 3200ft the forest become fully supportive and quickly got up to the lake. Above here, back to lots of un-supportive crust and crawling up the mountain. The 4th class summit pitch was mixed mostly-rock for the bottom half, and all hard snow for the upper half. Climbed with crampons and ice tools. This route can very comfortably be climbed and descended with a single 60m (probably even 50m and still get a single rappel exit). Lots of good glissading on the ice crust then postholed out.

Nice job, the summit block of Devils is cool. I climbed it in late June, big mistake. The worst bushwhack I have ever endured.

That's a fun one. Nice to see it done with more snow on the route.

You hit the weather right. Nice shots. This used to be a traditional winter climb for the Mountaineers.
