This time I was able to get up Halcott as I got there earlier in the morning.  Also, this time I knew that the herd path is not straight up the mountain from where you park, but off down the road a little bit further, and I ended up leading a couple people and a lovely dog over to it.  This is the first time I've gone up this way, so I didn't realize how steep it was.  Started with microspikes but once the climbing began considered switching over to the shoes.  There was a small view from the top that I didn't remember from the last time there, but granted, that's when I found my phone had turned off of airplaine and I got messages about my grandfather's passing, so I wasn't really paying attention then. 

This makes 12/33 for winter 3500.
