After hiking Mt. Russell previous day I was not sure I can make it, but at least I gave it a try. Started around 2:00 AM from Upper Boy scouts lake I made a good progress via Mountaineering route topping out around 7:00 AM. Direct route from the notch looked sketchy with mix of ice and rocks, so I went around, maybe next time I will check it out.
