It looked pretty bad at 7am; not sure why anyone would try to continue to go up with the certainty of storms looming. On Tuesday I hiked to Amphitheater Lake - perfect weather. There were a number of climbers heading up to Garnet Canyon with axes and helmets; probably heading for the grand. I hope for the best for everyone who was up there.
