Winds were heavy, ripping out of the East. Wind transport was obvious on surrounding peaks, east to west. The goal was to ride the east side but absolute no go, didn't even bother to summit. Could definitely use more snow as well, will make it easier to get through the dense trees lower down. Difficult day overall.
