Hiked up Colchuck Peak on Saturday, November 9th. There were a lot of ice smears but the usual suspects were not filled in enough to be what I consider in condition. Maybe the NE Couloir on Dragontail was in, but I could not see it from the lake. I suspect a party that left the TH at midnight may have been on it, but I don't know that for sure. Maybe they will post up. The smaller lakes were well frozen over and Colchuck Lake had a skim of ice, but Saturday had warmed up considerably and was raining on the summit of Colchuck. Hopefully colder weather will accompany these storm cycles and after they have had a chance to consolidate/melt/freeze the area should have some good early season hunting. It had been perhaps five years since my last visit to Colchuck Lake and I was shocked by how much the Colchuck Glacier had receded. At this pace in 5 years I suspect it will be completely gone.
Was up near lake stuart and also found very bony/dry conditions.

A friend ran the enchantment traverse yesterday. Here are the conditions he found by colchuck lake

Gonna try and give it a go next week. Looks good! Lots of frozen water along the trail today. Very obvious signs of nice freeze/thaw cycles. Didn’t get a great view of dragontail, but it looks like it’s shaping up nice! The early season snow follow by freeze/thaw seems like it might be making some magic.

Glacier Peak! Let's do it. I'm dropping you a PM.

For Wenatchee and Leavenworth: do you have the money to buy a house when you move here? If so, you'll probably just have to wait until the right house comes on the market. Inventory is crazy low. If you're planning on renting, just know that the rental market in Wenatchee/Leavenworth has incredibly low inventory, as well, and everything is pretty expensive (for not being a metropolitan area), especially if you have dogs. If you can swing it, it's a great place to live with no shortage of learning opportunities.

My wife will be away, so I'm looking for a partner for some mountain activities. Probably just some scrambling. I'm comfortable with steep snow. I'll lead 5.6/ai2/3. If you want to climb something harder, I'll gladly follow. Also considering skiing Adams or something of that nature.
Drop me a line if you're also looking for a partner for next weekend.

Dang. I wanna tour with you!

Did my first backcountry tour this past Friday. What a blast! Madison Ave was everything I’ve ever dreamed of on skis. Unbelievable corn in a remarkable setting with wonderful company.
That being said, we saw some relatively recent (within the last two days, certainly) cornice failure and other smaller slide evidence near copper pass, so, as always, use caution when traveling.

I need to climb with you!

I have two CCW packs, one valdez and one chaos. My wife has one chaos. All three are bomber and light. Cannot recommend them enough. The chaos packs down so well. I've also hauled them up granite faces numerous times with no issues or tears. And Randy is the man. Super quick turn around.

Hoping someone might want to climb Casaval ridge with me if avalanche conditions are good. Also considering Mt. Hood. I haven't climbed either.
Please have avalanche gear.

Well, I think my 25 year old north face bag is finally on its last leg. Looking for something suitable for spring, summer, and fall in the cascades. I generally run kinda warm and don't mind sleeping in a jacket and what not. That being said, I'd be bummed to spend 4-500 on a sleeping bag and find out there was a better option. Thus far, I've been looking at the Feathered Friends Merlin UL 30, western mountaineering Summerlite, and the Nunatuk quilts, but I'm wondering if I want something that is rated to 20 degrees. I'm also considering the FF Vireo because there is a lightly used one available, but I'm worried it's not enough for spring and fall. What are y'all using or what do you recommend? I also get 50% off of any Eddie Bauer product, but there isn't any sleeping bag that seems like the right fit in their lineup.
Thanks,
Anthony

Multipitch near the road where you plan to take falls or multipitch in the alpine that you aren't planning to take many falls on?
-
I can also vouch for intermittent fasting. I've been using to help control my crohn's symptoms and it's definitely helped! Maybe I'll even get to climb this fall.

This looks like a great outing!
Way to get after it.

Great TR. your posts are always inspiring!
The Goode glacier is such a cool fucking place. Heck, the whole of that area is a cool place.
We had the same exact situation in the descent. No water and blisteringly hot temps made for nausea and general heat exhaustion.
