Hello everyone, this looks like a great community I just stumbled upon!
I've got a trip planned from Tuolumne to Devil's Postpile, beginning 7/11. The rangers are telling me it could be dicey but they don't have detailed reports yet. Anyone here have info, speculation or other comment? I haven't done this section of the JMT before, but had planned on bringing instep crampons in addition to poles/cold-weather gear. Might I face steep (> 30 deg.) snowfields or hazardous icy conditions? Might Lyell Canyon be a mud bog?
All advice appreciated :-)
