Re: Yosemite - early season backpacking impressions #Conditions


 

Thanks; I've got a pair of insulated Salomon winter boots that I'll bring.

(Salomon X Ultra Mid Winter CS WP from 2019, fwiw. With OR Crocodile gaiters I never get cold feet or a hint of snow down the boot.

I can't believe I might get lousy weather — this is a replay of a trip last year in early April, when the group I was leading got hit by the only late-season snowstorm. We had to bail on Half Dome, but went _almost_ to the top of Clouds Rest. Because of 50 mph gusts I told the rest of the crew they were welcome to go that last hundred meters, but I was going to stay down where the ridgeline wasn't so scary. That's me in the photo, with the top of Clouds Rest above me.
