Snow on Mt. Goode?

Post by fogey »

Has anyone been in the neighborhood and gotten a look at the Bishop Pass trail side of Goode? We have a day to kill on the eastside Monday and have never climbed Mt. Goode--but it looks like the way up from Bishop Lake faces roughly southeast and we're hoping it's melted off enough so that we don't need an ice ax or crampons.

Obviously the wrong side and neighborhood, but I was above Treasure Lakes on July 28 and happened to snap a photo that caught the north side of Goode.

These photos are cropped (hence the cruddy resolution), but in the 2nd photo it sure looks like the remnants of a cornice hanging onto the left side of Goode. Of course the past 2 weeks of high temps may have melted it all away by now. Hopefully somebody will have something to add from the other side and more current.
