I was looking at google earth today and noticed a stream that appears to split West Bond and Bondcliff. Is it possible to follow that all the way up to West Bond or does it get too steep to climb? Has anyone attempted it or found another way?
It depends if you like climbing talus slopes or stream beds. They both have their plus and minus.One question. If it were you, would you go up the bond bondcliff col or the west bond bond col. Which is the "easier" of the two? Based on reports, I am inclined to walk up the west bond ridge.
I would say it depends on where you want to go next. If you're heading out N over Guyot I'd go up to the Bondcliff col as W Bond is a shorter side trip. If you are going back to Lincoln Woods, I'd go to the W Bond col then take the trail down over Bondcliff. The W Bond ridge is much thicker but half a mile shorter, take your pick. "Richards Ridge" up to Bondcliff is the thickest yet, both NHMH & I have trip reports on it.One question. If it were you, would you go up the bond bondcliff col or the west bond bond col. Which is the "easier" of the two? Based on reports, I am inclined to walk up the west bond ridge.
