Handies Group Info
Anyone been up Handies, Sunshine, or Redcloud of late? The most recent conditions report is a few weeks old.

Re: Handies Group Info
I just did Handies and Whitecross today via Grizzly Gulch. As others noted at the Fall Gathering, Handies is holding a fair amount of snow. I postholed up to 2-3 feet below the final ascent up Handies. It sucked! Microspikes and gaiters were helpful. Sunshine and Redcloud don't have near as much snow and you can get by without spikes.

Also I think they are expecting quite a bit of snow Thursday?
