This was a moving target of a weather report and we hit it right on the head. We were in the right place at the right time all day long. Cloudy on Zealand, clearing by Guyot, in and out on Mount Bond, then spectacular views with undercast on the cliffs! Great photo opportunities all day! One person had been out and back to the Bonds from the hut the same day, met him at West Bond Spur. We broke out West Bond Spur and followed one or two across the twinway. Not a perfect track but all of it has been walked. Snow shoes from the hut to just about Lincoln Woods trail. Traction of choice. Some of the most snow I have seen between Bond and Bondcliffs in 15 traverses! I didn't feel like writing MSR an apology letter for once. Thank you Alton and Cole for a great day and wonderful company. |
