Kevin Baker wrote:I did Tarryall and The Catamount in the Lake Park area on Sat. Snowline was around 10500' or so with around 6" or so on north and east facing aspects, so not enough for snowshoes yet for sure.
Even less now, just enough wet, melting snow to melt for drinking water, not enough to be any bother, at least to the Lake Park and a few peaks in the area. I think we saw your prints in a few areas, Kevin, as we also climbed Tarryall and Catamount yesterday and one of the Keyat Ears this morning, fantastic conditions, perfect weather, as I said, just enough snow for melting for water (we camped right in Lake Park at "tatonka").

So on the Catamount summit register: saw Kane three times, Derek F, Brian T and maybe a couple others (and myself now three times), still less than 40-ish names since 1988! Fantastic little scrambly peak, we did the "class 3" route up the SW face.

We have done a couple LCW loops in the Hankins Pass vicinity very recently, including one last winter and one this summer, sure don't remember any deadfall issues

Thanks for all the beta, heading out solo next weekend and really looking forward to a little wilderness therapy. :-D

Hiked Bison Peak yesterday, was able to avoid snow 98% of the route, near summer conditions.
