My niece and I are going SOBO starting from the Mono/Parker Pass TH 7/7. We have been monitoring the situation at the site of the bridge over the SF of the San Joaquin to determine if there's any chance of a water crossing - seems sketch - or do we commit to the Piute->town of Bishop->Bishop Pass workaround. The choice has food resupply implications for our planning.?

We've seen FarOut comments from several NOBO PCTers that have successfully used this route.

?However, after examining the route on CalTopo, we are concerned about taking the ?route going southbound. In particular the descent back down to the trail seems fairly steep from 9800' to 9400'. Has anyone seen a report on using the route going south?

Thanks

John
