Trail Conditions: Wilderness Trail is hardpacked, put snowshoes on about a 1/2 mile from Bondcliff Juction. Bondcliff trail very nicely packed all the way to summit. Water crossings all snow/ice covered except for one but that was no issue. Barebooted from Bondcliff summit all the way to summit of Bond, should have put snowshoes back on for the last 200 hundred feet on Bond, snow is deep but trail was easy to follow and I was feeling to lazy to put them back on just to take them back off. If lazyness hadn't been an issue microspikes would have been good for above treeline but it is barebootable/rock hoppable.
Special Equipment Required: Snowshoes not essential for Bondcliff accent but suggested, same for microspikes above treeline, crampons not needed, poles very helpful.
Comments: Perfect 3 day campout in the Pemi wilderness, could not have asked for nicer weather. Be careful in Lincoln parking area, there is about 3 inches of ice in places.
