Hullo, Sherpa Oscar here... Figured I'd add a couple of notes: The snow up Avalanche Alley have become very slushy and we made dozens of avalanches from our footsteps both ascending and descending (while glissading I almost burried myself in avalanches caused by glissading... ). I figure conditions are only gonna get worse, so snowshoe while you can... Ummm... Take a bike!!! A bike makes the trip up to the trailhead go much faster (supposedly) and the trip down, well, Steve carried my 80 lb back as well as his own 35 lb pack with me jogging along side with hardly any trouble on his part at all. A cool guy up there said he did the hike from the trailhead using a bike and Day Tripped Mt. Constance in 14 hours. (He was on his way to C141.) Anyhoo, it was one of the most spectacular trips I've been on, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for the TR, P. Sherpa Oscar

Yeah, but the brothers both forgot their mom's 67th birthday! (love Mom)
