We hiked about 2/3rds of the way but the trail became almost completely snow covered for hundreds of yards around, though
I did find a short section below the snow & tree lines. So we had lunch and let our collective wisdom dictate our return which was
relatively swift and uneventful.

 
Though we never got to the summit it was a true adventure. We enjoyed finding Green Lake on our return.
