As Clint Eastwood said: a man's gotta know his limitations.. As The years go by, my interest in hiking doesn't change even with the reality of a bad knee (being improved now with phy theraphy). I've always wanted to do Bondcliff but have realistically ruled it out. I only get to the Whites 2-3 times a year and the knee has held me back to lesser recent hikes like Jefferson, Willard, Sugarloaf, Wesh-Dickey. This year, I plan to do Ike via Edmonds BUT my old yearning has returned. Is there any way to do the Bonds as a dayhike ( I believe its 16-18 miles RT?) for my "mature" body? Any short cuts or other ways to access? I doubt it but would love your input. My other dream would be to do Baxter/Knife Edge but that's another pipedream.. Maybe I need to save my $ and get a helicopter Look forward to your thoughts,
