Little Bear-Blanca Traverse
|
What's the earliest this route can conceivably be done? I imagine that August is ideal, but I might be moving back east and want to get on this before I go. How much snow would there be in late June? |

Well, Matt Bruton and Micah Morgan did it this last Jan. 29th, so anytime is conceiveable. |
|
The snow can add ease the hike. Better foot & hand holds when you can kick them where you want them. I've made some assents in snow that would normally not go without technical gear. |
|
Did it July 4th weekend in 2008 and it was no problem. It's a burly 3 days if you start hiking from the lowest parking area. |
|
Well I can see it pretty good from my driveway and it's kinda snowy. TONS of really high winds recently, 80 + |
|
Thanks guys |

Any of you Coloradoans (Coloradoites?) seen the LB-Blanca traverse lately? Lots of snow up there? |
|
You will be disappointed in yourself if you don't include Ellingwood Point in the traverse. |
