Trip Report

In spring conditions, the hike up to Pineapple Pass is almost completely snow covered. There wasn’t significant bootpack, so we had to navigate ourselves. The final ascent up to Pineapple Pass was quite steep and I’d recommend at least microspikes (and frankly, a lightweight ice axe wouldn’t hurt).

The climb itself went well and all the beta on mountain project was accurate.
