Conditions: all snow, all the time. Difficulty: extreme. Not sure what
else to add.
Random tips: he'll need snowshoes or skis. Bring plenty of tools for
route-finding because there won't be any trail anywhere. Beware avalanche
hazards during warm spells. Plan for a slow rate of travel and high energy
consumption. Watch for late-season snowstorms.
Emphatically not recommended for anyone except experienced mountaineers.
The normal start date for a SoBo trip is around June 15th, plus or minus one
or two weeks depending on the melt-out that year.
