A Recent Hike - Fromme Mountain

It may not be a great pic, but that is me at the top of Fromme Mountain.

For those of you who don't know, Fromme is the peak directly east of Grouse. There are decent views, mostly to the backcountry to the north, but that isn't the main reason to do the hike. It's more about the climb through the second growth forest. Really peaceful.

It's an intermediate hike, with some significantly steep sections, but over all not tough at all. We did it in an hour and forty minutes. There are different starting points, so if you think you might give it a try, make sure you have plenty of time to get up and back down in daylight.

The interesting thing is that I think a lot of people have assumed winter is over. But trust me: it was cold up there. Snow in places over a foot deep. Ice in crevasses.....But heck, who am I kidding? To go up there in winter, in shorts, just points out what an absurdly mild winter we have had.
