Trip Report:

 

After a 5 month hiatus from the high peaks (ice season), I got back into the swing of things with a solo trip up an unranked summit near Longs Peak.  Not a speed record, for sure, though I did catch a nice down jacket nap on the summit.  Pictures:

 

This looks encouraging.  At least I didn't bring my goggles!
