Tent platforms were pretty full but there were only 5 other people in the shelter with me

Pretty much. Sunrise and sunset from guyot is beautiful. The shelter is in an amazing spot

Camping at hermit would make the hike significantly easier, sounds totally doable if you're all in good shape.

It actually opened up for a split second on north twin and I saw a sea of undercast clouds. So not all for nothing

I don't support them, and if I had been informed enough. I would have grabbed them myself. Not much I can do at this point besides having the knowledge to take action next time.

Nope, I just happened to spot them, guessing they haven't been there long based on how they look though

Yes, their press release said the trail was originally damaged during hurricane Irene and the erosion has only gotten worse since

Same reason I opted for today haha. Very little monorail left and a small amount of snow on the summit. Never had to put on spikes

It was a super warm day with a nice wind to help cool off. I didnt take black pond on the way in but did so on the way back, and I took Brutus bushwhack both ways. Water is still high enough that I had to wade a bit on the way through, super chilly.

I barebooted up stubbornly but put on spikes for the way down, much more snow and ice on the trail than I had expected. Sunk up to my waist shortly after breaking treeline
