Our day started out dry and windy from Zealand Falls Hut to just before we got to the summit of Guyot. From Guyot the rest of the way out and back to the hut, things were cloudy, windy, and wet (descending Bond onto Bondcliff ridge was most slippery, tricky part. Needed to take special care navigating down that mess of boulders). Slippery rocks, big puddles and damp clothes were the highlight of our return from the summits. See the full trip report in the link below. |
