This was my first attempt at Mt. Si for the season. Christina and I did the full climb including the haystack in approximately 7 hours. We were taking it very slow and steady. The weather was very poor until the very end of the hike where the clouds cleared right when we were at the top. Here are some pictures:



The haystack rock at the top! 200 ft. scramble to the top.
