Comments
Comments: A nice early morning traverse of these peaks. My intent was sunrise on the adjacent bump to Guyot but starry skies turned to pea soup. Pushed on to just below Bondcliff where clouds cleared partially as the sun was rising putting on quite an early morning display of color and drama. snacked on many blueberries ascending to Bondcliff. Crossed paths with 10 others today starting at the end of BC trail.
