Trip Report, Baden-Powell 5/16-5/17

Great trip. We hiked up at night in the near full moon. No headlamps needed. Slept on top, off the southern side, under the cover of a few trees as windbreaks.
There was quite a bit of snow on the last push to the summit. We went cross-country a lot, as the trail was lost in the snow. Some areas still had drifts of 2-3 feet deep of hardpacked snow.
We saw nobody Fri night, but on our way down Sat morning, the parking lot was full and there were a TON of hikers coming up.
Nighttime temp on top was probably in the low 40s, Sat morning it warmed up quick. Coming down wasn't too bad, but I'd hate to be going up in that heat.
