Re: A question about pass strategy for late season
I adore camping just below a pass. Which usually is 10-11,000'. It's so nice up there. But, mainly, hitting that pass first thing in the morning is almost effortless compared to tackling it at the

Re: A question about pass strategy for late season
Couldn’t say storms are *not* a concern at that time of year, but neither does it storm every afternoon in the peak season. Plan your hike the way you want to plan it, and you can make a call on the

I am planning a trip from Bishop Pass to Kearsarge Pass starting either Friday, September 6 or Sunday, September 8.? I'm thinking I would have better odds of getting a permit on the Sunday start

A question about pass strategy for late season

Re: Final word on winter snow?
I’ll try to attach some images of snowpack records I track along the JMT for the FB groups (the first ones are snowpack, the last three are river flow - locations shown on the first

Re: Final word on winter snow?
Here are the latest plots. It was essentially a normal year for snowpack, if there is such a thing in California. Average is probably a more accurate term. However, it appears the melt is ahead of

Re: Final word on winter snow?

Re: Mt Whitney west side switchbacks in mid-July this year and best guesses for JMT NOBO conditions in July-August.
PCTers are summitting Whitney already.? In a month you should be pretty safe. I recently posted a video on the Facebook group about crossing the San Joaquin, supplied by some PCTers I met at VVR
