1-19-13 Mount Philo

 Mount Philo is only about 15 minutes from my house and serves as a quick escape when I needed it.  I threw my microspikes in the car and Sal and I went to have some fun.
 We climbed up the trails and the snow was either hard packed to almost ice or just ice all together.  The Devil's Chair trail wanders on the base of a cliff with a sharp hill below.
 Not necessarily a problem but when the trail requires you to turn down hill it gets tricky.
 The actual Devil's Chair of the Devil's Chair trail.  I was surprised but yet I have a feeling I have found it before.

The cloudy and very windy view from the top.  What as not too cold of a day was stripped away to utterly freezing by the wind.
