Yosemite->Tioga Pass Area Conditions?
Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2011 4:07 am
Hi all,
Looking to get around the Tioga pass area in Yosemite, sometime next week, to potentially do some simple "mountaineering", conditions permitting. I was thinking Dana/Gibbs. Anyone been there recently who could comment on the snow conditions? Are we talking crampons and ice axe to get up Dana from the Yosemite side (which should be a lot of fun)? Any additional information in the surrounding area (Lyell canyon, ragged peak, north peak) would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ben
