Absolutely incredible 360 view of 3 volcanoes, 5+ lakes, and every peak in the area. Spent some time up there doing my favorite thing just trying to piece together my mental model of how these mountains fit together. Your brain just integrates that model better in person than from looking at pictures. White Ledges was a bit dirty and loose for me to recommend it but it was nice to scramble. Roosevelt and Chair look great. Left with a liter of water and refilled with two liters at Upper Melakwa because it was HOT. Clouds rolled in about when I hit White Ledges so I ended up not needing it all but it helped psychologically, especially because I’ve had a mild headache all day. So many bugs even on the peak I need to use bug spray
