Beautiful October day, love that we can still get out to the mountains without all our snow gear. That said, we got to the ridge-line on Lady Peak and were almost blown off by the wind. The wind and the ice deterred us from going for the summit but the climb to the ridge was awesome. The valley between Lady and Cheam is gorgeous this time of year with the blueberry bushed turning red. Ice on the ledges at the crux makes this scramble unnecessarily risky, wait for next summer to climb this one. I left my collapsible hiking poles at the trail head on our way out, if anyone reading this found them, please drop me a comment. They aren't that good of poles, but they have traveled a lot of miles with me.
