Comments
Comments: Beautiful day, cold to start no wind. Mud was frozen early, not later in day. Trails to ourselves until Bondcliff junction. 1 overnighter camping here. Several more on way up, no one on trail. Bondcliff was empty @ 10:45. Cool no wind, views for miles. Over to Bond 1st real ice, no need for spikes. Had this alone as a couple who past if headed to a West. Snow on trail down to Spur, trace amount. Met several heading down coming from Zealand. Only 2 others, lunch in the warm sun. Grey Jays about. No issues heading back, had both summits solo again. 12-15 heading up Bondcliff @ 2. Just an amazing day to be out. Surprised it was not busy at all today. Spikes went for a ride today. Great day to get these for November!
