Thomas Mt. 5.13.03

Today's goal was for Thomas Mt summit. Finding the trailhead for this climb was made much easier by the very detailed postings on this website (thanks a million). I was treated by a coyote sighting on the way in and also at least 6 birds of prey catching thermals, both of which I had never seen before. The creek crossing was wasn't too difficult despite the lack of a bridge. The trail climbs quite steeply to the junction of Easton Ridge and the Domerie Divide trail. I hit sustained snow at around 4500ft and had no problem reaching Point 4942. I descended due north following the faint footsteps of those who have passed recently. I hit the saddle at around 4600ft and continued climbing northward to the summit. Nice views on this mostly sunny and warm day. No major problems on the way out.
