Anyone have beta on the North Fork of Big Pine Creek trail to the Palisades area this year? Specifically, 1) where does the snow begin, and 2) the conditions of the U/V Notch routes? We are scheduled to head up next week, but if the routes are not in condition we'll punt for some other fun objective. Any input is appreciated.
Asked this in another thread, with no specific response, so I'm throwing it out as its own topic.
here's the current conditions of the northeast face of middle pal from the top of the middle pal glacier. pretty dry save a couple lingering hanging snowfields.
