Nice brisk fall weather with many leaves on the ground in the north fork. The water crossing to the ledges is a trickle. Water everywhere was a trickle. Ice patch on the entrance to the slabs that was still frozen solid in the afternoon. Some snow in the chute, avoidable. Could use more, a lot more. Ice and snow patches in the final 400. Not a lot but enough to warrant extra caution.

Was great to run into So.BayMark on the way up. He was planning a summit camp. I forgot to ask for a cookie.

Doug, Earlene, Gigamike, Betsy and Jack were at the store discussing all their recent adventures. Good to see them all again.

The nice weather from Saturday is gone. More wind, cold and hopefully snow on the way.

James, thanks so much for the report. And thanks for the good pictures, too. You got some cool moon shots.

I like these two:

Classic shot looking up the MR to the Notch. It looks short and easy -- very deceiving.


I hope Mark will post a report.

Thanks Steve, weather was very nice. Cold and breezy in the chute on the way up. Much less so on the way down. Very pleasant for October. Looks like temps have fallen since then and wind picking up.
