Palisades North Fork conditions July 4-9

we camped just at the top of the proper glacier trail, not at gayley or fischer because neither of them are snow free, and the sun cups are horrible. several snow-melt streams around glacier trail have great water. Patchy snow starts near Sam Mack Meadow (but is probably already gone). We summitted Sill via Swiss Arete and North Pal via U-Notch + Clyde variation. Took 1 rest day between the two.

Mosquitoes are definitely up and about, pray for an evening breeze. Marmots also started showing up towards the end of the trip. Weather is really warm, things are melting fast.

sorry the photos are rotated oddly. I didn't have the dedication to fix the rotation.

North Pal's ridge. All ridges are snow free.

Cheers!
