Comments
Comments: Used spikes from Lincoln woods to middle of Bond cliff trail where we switched to snowshoes to reach the summit of Bondcliff. We then switched back to spikes and again back to snowshoes after Mount Bond and kept them on to the HUT, Great snow from Bond out to the hut , finally felt like winter. Some trick Ice around ladders after Zealand, went down backwards with snow shoes. Incredible day with bluebird sky on the Bonds. Had great company with 2hikers working on winter 48, 1 working on her 2nd winter SS ! Ran in to a small group of Famous hikers :) that gave us chocolate :).Pleasure to meet all of them out on such a gorgeous day!
