Six miles, six hours and 6000' is fantastic! What were your thoughts on the descent? In some ways, that can be even more difficult. Snowshoes up and crampons down? What kind of crampons were you using?

I have a draft winter gear post I'll try to finish. What was the weather like? Wind is what I most worry about.

My philosophy on headlamps has evolved to taking one more than I expect to need. Hike planned for daylight? I take one. Fully expect to be out in the dark? I take two. Nighttime in the woods is dark.

That picture is fantastic. I've got to get out again this winter.
