 | Comments: |
The previous poster left good information about conditions -- which, naturally, will change significantly after Tuesday's snow storm.
We did this as a single-day out and back, knowing that after Tuesday things would change.
Excellent conditions -- any forecast winds for early in the day had dissipated by later morning/early afternoon on Guyot and Mt. Bond.
Saw a half dozen folks out (including the previous poster, heading back from Bond/West Bond -- thanks for breaking trail!). |
