This was OK hike,Saturday is usually parking lot full.This was case today.But dozen hikers/climbers return because not ready with gear (last 700 feet was more ice)
This was very known hike to me,i had all gear including crampons and 3 jackets.
Start at 11am and planed returning time at 2pm. beginning was mud slippery then second half was snow and ice slippery (thanks to my crampon) after trees line wind and mix snow rain.going up saw 8-10 going down then going down saw 5-6 hikers going up.Not all people taking mailbox peak trail from road...not known yet where there are going.Top of the peak was cowered with 10 plus feet of snow-Mailbox box is buried today.
Returned to the car at 4pm.Pretty much same time up then down.
