So, this is the first repeat I've done.  I did Panther originally on June 5.  This is one of the required winter peaks though, so once again I did it.  We started off of 47 like I did the previous time.  The trail up to the ledges was better than when I did it in the spring only because it was not rocks and you can see where it is on the more vertical rocky places.  The problem was that it was postholed like crazy, which made hiking it difficult.  The trip across the ridge to the ledges was uneventful and the climb up to the ledges was tough, but doable with microspikes.  The views though... breathtaking!  I love the views from the ledges, and they are well worth the climb.  From there the trail to Panther was not bad, hard packed with a little drifting.  We got to the peak and then broke trail over to the viewpoint just past the peak.  For the hike down we switched to shoes though because we wanted the traction on the way down Panther.  The shoes came off at the trail junction with Woodland Valley, and spikes out to the road.  This hike killed my legs though, and I was really feeling it when I got home, but another short day with getting home at a reasonable hour.

Winter required #2/4.
