Trail Conditions: Clear sailing - trails were bone dry from the slide all the way across the ridge and down OBP. Just a little windy above treeline.
Special Equipment Required: Fleece or wind jacket for above treeline
Comments: GREAT VFTT , lots of wind above treeline, affecting stability while crossing the ridge . Left the Flume parking lot at about 7:15AM and completed the loop down OBP at about 4:30PM. Lots of Sailplanes zooming around Lafayette. First time bagging 4 in a day and also doing that much elevation gain/loss as evidenced by the slow going around the office today . Went with Maddog Murray (the neophyte peakbagger) bringing him from 6 to 10 in a day, on his quest for 20 by the end of the year. One of the better great days in the Whites.
