Just a quick update...
Summited Mt Langley yesterday via Old Army Pass. The trail snow at the top of the pass was rock hard ice when we got to it, so we were unable to traverse in just our trail runners.
However, there's a very nice route below the snow that just required some quick scrambling at the entry and exit points with minimal exposure.
On return from the summit, it had softened sufficiently to kick steps into, and along with trekking poles, was plenty safe to pass in trail runners. The last 20 ft even has a fine runout for glissade.
Mt Whitney and Mt Muir starting tomorrow!
