Just a note – I did West Bond last year, left the summit a bit early (1:30) due to incoming weather, booked it all the way back to the Zealand trailhead, and still got there after a lot of the crowd had already left.
But I’m sure many of us will still be there. Which reminds me, I need to reserve my motel room. I’m not driving home after this and my camping gear will all be packed for a long weekend in the Catskills the following week.
