I went up West Bond first, and then went up Mt. Bond, on a hike which began on the Zealand trail. I didn't see Flamders or Brian Jenkins, they were there on the same day as me, go Summitpost!
Climbed with South Twin, Guyot, Bond and North Twin via the Twinway Trail from Galehead. Summited in rain clouds but somehow managed to stay dry. A nice hike with a very remote mountain feeling to it.
Eerily quiet up there with no planes anywhere in sight. A sad day, however I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be when the world as we knew has just changed forever.
Pretty remote peak - hiked it in 2005 as part of a Pemi Loop backpack; been over Bond at least three more times since then but not made the detour again.
Better views than Bondcliff Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2008
Very surprised at the unique views this peak provides. Definately worth hitting as the whole Pemi Wilderness opens up for viewing. And luckily for us we had one of those rare perfect days, clear skies, no wind and temps in the 60s.
With Flanders after hiking up from Bondcliff and hitting that one and Mt. Bond. Great views, fun scramble. Wished to have stayed for a while but we had to get to the campground before dark. Great first day of a two day hike.
Best views in the Whites Date Climbed: Jun 20, 2008
I've done this climb several times and think the views all along the ridge are the best in the Whites. I do it from the Wilderness trail (formerly Lincoln Woods trail)and camp in the woods before hitting the steep section below Bondcliff. Some people suggest riding in on a mountain bike and stashing it in the woods since the first 6-7 miles is really flat and wide open. The bike speeds up the trip time.
