Group members began hiking up the West Glacier Trail at 6:20 a.m. using headlamps. They followed part of the Mount McGinnis route, then dropped into Heavenly Valley before crossing over to the face of Mount Stroller White, wearing crampons part of the way. They returned to the trailhead by 6:50 p.m.
