We're not too wound up yet, but my buddies were due out a couple days ago from a Trans-Sierra trip (East to West). We're sure they got hammered up there with the past week of storms and instability and are probably just hunkered down, but folks are starting to get concerned. By last night there was still no word so my understanding is that SAR was sent out this morning in some fashion. They are supposed to come out near Lodgepole, doing the High Route. Mike's done Denali and Ryan Aconcagua.....they both have avy education and a lifetime of alpine skill in the mountains.... they are super strong fellas. Just hope they get home soon. Anybody here on Southern Sierra SAR in that region?

Here's hoping they're just up there in a snow cave building up material for a great story...

Couple of days ago the Sierra storms dumped tons of heavy snow in the high country as you already know.
Makes traveling very slow as you already know.
Since you already know all this sh'it all you can do is worry as we already know.
Best wishes for a safe return to your good friends ...

Is the third buddy a girl by any chance? A friend of mine told me she had planned to do that route. Cheers.
