Date Hiked: 11/3/07

Conditions: Frozen mud in the early morning....icy near the summit.

Special Required Equipment: Hiking poles, stabilicers worked great.

Comments: Did this hike via Lake Arnold - beautiful day! Saw lots of friendly hikers. As we headed for the true summit of Colden, we overheard some hikers announcing that they were on the top...they appreciated that we told them a little more hiking would bring them to the summit. Hiked most of the day in light polar fleece..no hats or mitts for the most part. The stabilicers were a good confidence builder on the ice. Took about 8 hours.
