Always a beautiful morning vista from Bierstadt.
Trail is in great shape. Brought spikes but left them in my bag. Some risky snow/ice up near the summit but easy to bypass on climbers left. Started just after 3, summited a few mins before 5.

Catch the snow before it’s gone! Beautiful am for peak bagging. Microspikes are helpful, gaiters too if you’re out later. Snow softening up really quickly in the sun.

Cool spot to view Longs. Wind was really whipping or I would’ve stayed much longer.
