  Finally, at the summit of Great Northern. Took 4:46 from the trailhead, a gain of 4400 feet (8700 feet at the top), and about 4 miles overland. I was 100% soaked, with 30-40 mph winds blowing ice up the southern face right at me.  With the summit register. I'd just taken a gust of ice particles full in the face, so my eyes were squinted nearly shut. Visibility was about 50 feet in the thick cloud/fog, and everything was dripping wet, so getting down wasn't going to be particularly fun or easy.   360-degree view from Great Northern's summit. It was a white-out.   Back at 7900 feet, just below the cloud cover.  More of the eeevil clouds. These low-hangers came in around 7600-7700 feet. Not too often one gets this sort of perspective on a cloud, though.
