Goal was to hit all three Bonds, but late start and lack of poop on my part made us bail on W Bond. It was a good choice as this enabled long term stay on Mt Bond and later on the Cliffs. What a day it was to hang out and and meet and greet all of the many folks filing through doing Bonds Traverses on this close to ideal day. Trails were nicely packed in general, but warm temps were causing snow balling on light traction footware. There was some glare ice under light coating of snow around Bond Cliff Summit. Luckily the light snow cover there was not conducive to snow balling so it was fairly safe. The trail from Bond Cliff to Mt Bond shortly reverts to packed snow shoe trail. Snow bridges appear to be on their way out on the stream corssings. |
