A group of five hikers spent two nights at Blueberry Lean-to and climbed Mount Seward on November 29th in difficult winter conditions with 2-3 feet of unconsolidated snow and muddy sections lower on the trail. The ascent via the north side took 5.5 hours for 3 miles with frequent lead switches due to the steep terrain and challenging snow, while the descent took 2.5 hours. They decided not to attempt the nearby peaks of Donaldson and Emmons due to the difficult conditions encountered.
