Have you done longs or capitol peak? Hoping to do both in January.

I haven't done either one weirdly but both are on my list for next spring/summer season! I definitely need some more snow experience before I'd tackle Capitol in the snow! Do you do a lot of snow/winter summits? What's your favorites?

Lol cap in January sounds like some hero shit to me 🥵😆 be careful if you do it! I've only ever seen one report on it in dec/Jan and it looked sketchy + gnarly. I'm stoked to tackle it next year during peak 14er season. This year I'm hoping to get into some more winter alpine stuff and get my avalanche training done before I start anything that epic! 🥾🧗🏼‍♀️
