Mt Tyndall / Shepherd Pass - lost jacket + conditions
Posted: Tue Jul 03, 2018 2:33 am
I lost my lucky jacket on the North Rib/summit ridge of Mt Tyndall this past weekend (July 1). It's a red Outdoor Research Gore-Tex shell, zipped into its own pocket so it'll appear rectangular and grey from the outside (aka blends in with the granite ). Well-loved with repair patches; it's been through lots of summits and an embarrassing number of lost bushwhacks.
If anyone finds the jacket, please PM me - I will most definitely cover shipping + more.
As for the latest conditions on Shepherd Pass: there's a small, well-traveled snowfield at the pass. I didn't need traction devices + axe (despite what NPS claimed as of 6/27). Just be prepared for decaying deer carcasses from last year's migration die off...Also, plenty of water flowing through the streams and the second lake by Tyndall is filled.
