Better late than never, let's try for this 5,716-foot Presi peak the weekend after President's Day. We will ascend 2,900 vertical feet over 3.7 miles via the Jewell Trail ("the cog" will be just over our right shoulders to the south). We will intersect the Gulfside Trail (AT) and proceed north 1.4 miles to the summit, gaining another ~250 vertical feet. The last 2.5 miles to the summit has full exposure to prevailing winds, so weather will be a factor in our progress. We will descent via the same route. Snowshoes with cleats and full crampons required; self-arrest ice-axe recommended. Intended for experienced winter hikers.
