The route was in good condition with some muddy spots. Mostly we traveled quickly through the exposed windy areas and rested in sheltered spots.
The forecast showed an 80% chance of rain, mostly after 1pm with gusts of wind up to 23 mph. We stayed dry, but the wind on the summit of West Tiger 3 especially was bitter. We all had hats, gloves and rain gear which helped block the wind, however, I had numb fingers for a bit. No snow on the route, mostly good trails and a little bit of road hiking.
The recent logging has left these summits much less attractive than they were before, they are now bald and ugly. However, as I mentioned to one of the people on the trip, if this wasn't timberland, it would likely be a subdivision full of houses and totally inaccessible to us as hikers.
A pleasant day with a group that traveled well together.
