The Low-Key Hillclimb series concluded with the traditional Thanksgiving-morning climb to the top of Mount Hamilton. Snowfall would close access to the mountain, and rain would cancel the climb.
For the fourteenth time, the weather cooperated. [So to speak.]
The morning sun slipped icicles off the exposed pine tree at the summit ... but not all of them. It was that cold.
Bracingly cold (32F), with snow lingering from Tuesday night's storm. The roads were clear. [Mostly.]
Ninety-one souls were brave enough to tackle the climb—a little more than half the number who turned out last year. The urge to stay nestled all snug in one's bed can get the best of anyone. [Not me.]
