Hi Tommyb,

I may head up there Friday night from LA as well, if I go for it I will be going up the main trail though. Any idea how much snow dumped up there the last couple days?

not sure what the conditions are as of this week. I am planning on playing it by ear. Pretty sure the road is closed and it will be about a 4 mile hike to trailhead from the gate.

depending on how much snow there is the Main trail could be a LONG insane Hike but im always willing to give it a go!

Tom

PS are you going SOLO! we could carpool, Im near UCLA

Sorry you had to cancel.... I've been pretty excited about seeing your photos.

But, it was nice to see that I'm not the only one who cancels hiking trips sometimes.

Have a wonderful and safe holiday and Christmas.

Tommy, if you reschedule, I'm interested in a Whitney, Russell, or Langley trip. Trying to find a better tent/bivy right now though.
