Thanks Ben. I think we’re covered at this point folks. Ok to let my thread drift below. Unless anyone can clue me in to a stocked wet bar at the top of bistro bross.

Seriously thanks for the feedback on this everyone!

You didn't hear it from me, but the wet bar is only accessible to those who dare to complete the 5th, and hardest of them all, grand traverse (Bross--> S. Bross)

Daaang. Didn’t know admission to the South Bross Trough was so exclusive. I’ll sharpen the axes crampons and fake ID to be best prepared! :-D
