i'm curious to know where you camped (is the road open all the way to the Kite Lake TH/Campground?)-on the map it looks like there is quite a bit of private land in the area...

We camped two nights on the Hoosier pass, giving great access to all peaks in the area. The pass is one of the few areas not on private property. I highly suggest the North face of Democrat a beautiful line:)

We had the pleasure of sitting on Quandary's summit for over an hour with two guys from NM, the odd thing is we never introduced eachother. One was from Jemez and the other from Las Alamos...any ideas, i figured then may be members here.....

Did you guys approach from Montgomery Reservoir and Platte Gulch? How far could you drive, and when were you able to start skinning? Did you look at the NW aspect of Lincoln by chance? Any skiable lines still in?
Thanks!

Was the best of the season thus far. The Tunning fork on Torreys may be better we will see after this weekend:)

If you got any pix or beta on the NW face of Lincoln during your approach, that would be much appreciated.
