Wondering if there is much if any snow at the base of MT. Goode's North Buttress?

Sorry if I was unclear. Yes, Mt. Goode in the Sierra Nevada.

Hiked down Bishop Pass two days ago. You could get to Goode with minimal snow crossings, and probably avoid it altogether. You don't need an axe, poons or even boots; I was in five tennies. Weather is warm, bring lots of water!

Scoop, did you actually go to the base of Goode or just come down on the pass.
I would not go up there without a light ax and at the minimum micro spikes for approach shoes- that snow/ice patch does not really ever go away and while short can be nasty!

That snow field below Goode is shaded and notoriously icy.

Thanks Tyler, looks like a lot of snow burned off over the last week.
