Went up eldorado saturday for a sunday summit. A high clearance vehicle can still make it all the way to the trailhead. Pretty easy booting up, started skinning around 3,800ft. Camped at ~5800', got an early start for the summit. Wind was blowing a bit overnight, but things seemed stable. When we got onto the inspiration glacier the wind picked up and by 8,500' it was blasting so hard we had to turn around. Good winter weekend in the north cascades!
