Got the package and I am really happy with the way the letter opener turned out. It's just the right size, works great and the craftsmanship is beautiful. Thanks for all the extra work you put in to it.

It was 18 deg in Mt Shasta city at around 3,500'. ...so I knew it was going to be cold.
I slept the night before at the trail head. At 10:30 it got too cold for me to sleep. (my bag isn't very warm, esp in a bivy bag in the back of my truck).
So, I had to get moving.

I got moving and made good time.
I gained the ridge proper rather early and followed the ridge to around 11,000.
I think I like ridge proper over the gully.

It was 0 deg above tree time before wind chill. With wind chill it was around -16 deg.
when I started hiking, I was wearing my base layer and a vest. As I gained the ridge, I had to put on my down jacket. I've never had to hike in my down before.

I got to just below the ramp at around 11,800'
the wind started to pick up and I could make out clouds starting to gather over the summit.
I turned around.
It was around 6 am

Oddly enough, it's just my phone. Depending on the situation/light it can do pretty well.
