Thanks, Steve. Half Dome was a blast and very dry. I was up Sonora Peak yesterday and that was crazy dry also. Whitney on New Year's Day was a bit troublesome for a couple members in my group about halfway up the switchbacks. Snow melts and refreezes causing some steep narrow ledges. 2 in our group made it past Trail Crest, but I went down with the ones who were having a hard time. Crampons are a must! A couple of us may give it another go in a couple of weeks if this weather pattern stays the same.
