as far as i know, no one has done an interesting winter line on it, besides you and your partner of course. many have oogled, and or tried it. I tried three times, once in very shitty snow conditions and it took way to long to just get to it, once with a horrendous head cold and 1 foot of new snow, and once immediately following an extremely traumatic break-up with a week straight of sleeping and drinking.

 

I'd love to see you line. There exist some VERY hard and very long FA potential. IMO it could be the "trophy wall" of the cascades.

 

p.s. BE CAREFUL ON THE APPROACH. The entrance slope to the NW and W face is extremely avy prone. I would suggest a bivy at the base. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the longer, harder lines would require a bivy en route.

there is an amazing line just before sloan on the approach. Marcus and I dubbed it "low hanging fruit". I was in terrible climbing shape on my last attempt. Marcus gave it a go, but backed off (i think he said b/c the ice was too shitty, but I bet it was b/c I was a mess).
