Sierra High Route conditions for September 2017

Post by Paloma »

Hello:

Just wondering if anyone has done the Sierra High Route this year and can speculate on conditions in early September? Specifically I am curious if there will be lingering hard packed snow in passes or gullies that might require ice ax and crampons? Thanks for any info.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org
