Comments
Comments: Twinway and Bondcliff Tr as far as Bond had approx 3" new snow from Monday and the tracks were drifted but for the most part easily visible. Snowshoes for this part (although somebody postholed up Bond from Guyot ahead of me) grrr

Bondcliff was very icy, microspikes here. South of Bondcliff the trail was a well-packed boot track, no traction needed here with warming temps softening the surface.

Beautiful day for a traverse, too warm if anything!
