Our destinations will be the Whitney Zone and the Palisades. I have gotten tons of great info about Whitney conditions from this board, but would like to know if anyone has info about, or a place to look for current information on the Palisades. Specifically the route up the North Fork of Big Pine Creek, on to Sam Mack Meadow and Gayley camp. Many thanks for any help! climbSTRONG "Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing" -Helen Keller

I am assuming that the Memorial day storm had the same impact on the Palisades as Whitney, but you know what happens when you assume. Guessing your pics from Mt. Alice about a month ago will be out of date. climbSTRONG "Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing" -Helen Keller
