 | Comments: |
Nice day for the classic N-S traverse over the Bonds. It didn't get as windy as the forecast had suggested, although there were some decent gusts in a few exposed places. Also, the forecast had called for steadily increasing cloud cover, but that didn't really happen. A trip report for the same route a day later speaks of very strong winds at Guyot, so I'm glad we went when we did. |
