Report

Started in the wee hours of the middle of the night. This made for awesome (firm) climbing conditions, and a vey memorable moonlit summit with a string of glittering headlights visible on Big Tahoma. A wonderful moment indeed. This also made for horrendous (firm) conditions on the decent, very tedious and slow down the fryingpan. I also got a wee bit off route trying to swing around meany crest, cost myself a few minutes of loose scrambling. A fun and solid effort, but it definitely goes much faster! (Note: yes, I cut switchbacks on the trail. They were under lots and lots of snow. Still did every bit of the vert.)
