Phil Richards and I decided that Commonwealth Ridge would make a nice first summit of 2016 - and we were right. We started in beautiful pre-dawn light from the Smuts Pass parking area along the Spray Lakes Road in cold temperatures of around -23 degrees. The cold was a bit of a bummer as we were expecting warmer temps - but we warmed up soon enough as we shoed towards the ridge on a highway of ski and snowshoe tracks.

Thanks for the comprehensive writeup & gorgeous photos! Hoping the snow melts soon so I can hike this!
Hey Karen - let me know how
Hey Karen - let me know how it goes without snow. :) I'm sure in some ways it'll be easier and in some ways harder.
