Re: Yosemite - early season backpacking impressions #Conditions


 

Hi Richard.

I brought Crampons since they give a bit of extra loft due to the front teeth but they come with the price of being less bendy and harder on the heel and toes (also for steep hill sides), but I mostly moved with my boots only.
In shaded and north facing areas, the snow is nice an consolidated, so very easy to walk on. In sun exposed areas it was very slushy and hard to move forward.
Make sure to bring fast drying boots, I made the mistake bringing my Moab's they take forever to dry.

Good luck!

Rick
