Lil Bear/Blanca Conditions and Traverse Beta?

Post by seth0687 »

Hey all, aside from the most recent trip report on Little Bear, does anyone have current conditions on Little Bear via the hourglass? Are there any snow issues on the road or can you still make it to just before Jaws 1? Flotation necessary or is there a boot pack trail? Is that hourglass still all snow, or is it starting to ice up?

Also, on the offhand that I feel like trying the traverse, has anyone done it protected or is soloing the preferred method?

Thanks,

Seth
