Granite-Bear Pass

[SDTrojan]

I crossed Granite Bear Pass on 7/25 this year. I was concerned that the snow left no safe route but I was able to bypass the snow near the top on the right side. There seemed to be a way on the left side as well.

Thanks for the report, tomba.
I'm heading up there this weekend and was wondering what it might be like and if I should pack an ice axe or snow crampons, but it sounds like it's easily bypassable.
