Window of visibility
30+cm of snow. Needed an ice axe and cramp-ons for the last 500m. 3:15hr for ascent and 2:15 descent. Lots of melt on descent. Peak was clear at 10am: we could see it from the parking lot. Foggy by 1:00pm-2:00pm with just a brief window of partially clear sky. Awesome climb!!! Good directions, too.

First time
My first summit of Arrowsmith w/ P. Rothermel and the Alpine Club group on his annual b-day trip. It was a perfect day and really put the hooks in me to spend more time in/on the mountains.

wet and windy November
Straightforward climb up the Judges Route. No snow/ice (unfortunately), but a rather wet and windy summit. Unfortunately no visibility, but still a good day out.
