Started at Equity Mine 2wd TH, hiked up to San Luis, went over to 13150 and 13180 and then bailed straight down to the Bondholder sign. -Road: Drove a passenger van to Equity without a problem. A moderate-clearance 2wd can make it to the major stream crossing. The stream is low and beyond is easy, muddy 4wd. -San Luis route: Same as previous. Mostly dry with several snowpatches and avy debris below the first saddle (the crown 1000 ft above is obvious and awesome). A few smaller slabs above may slide, but they probably won't affect the trail. Some cornice failures. I chopped steps in a drift in the second basin, but you can easily go around. In other words, no special gear needed. Gaitors and boots would be ideal. I wore trailrunners and did fine, if wet on the return. -13ers: the summit of 13150 is interesting. Best accessed from the San Luis side: 30ft, 3/4-, dry. The ridge to 13180c has one class 3 section with easier climbing on the north side. Also dry. The traverse to 13280 is still technical as a large, steep slab covers the weakness on looker's left. |
