David wanted to go for a hike and Daniel decided to come along. I decided on Snoqualmie hoping to see the ptarmigan again and also because it would be a little shorter drive than Faye Peak. We started up around 2:30PM, scrambled up over the waterfall ledges and hiked up the valley. No ice on the ledges, no new snow anywhere, not even on the ramp behind the summit crag. We had to hurry to get down before dark - tough on the quads.
