wayne Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Trip: Labor Pains, N.Early Winter Spire x2 - Date: 5/29/2016 Trip Report: So I did this route last September, then again last weekend. It is a challenging, gamey, and unheralded route that could use some updating. The WA Pass supertopo book covers it well, and I did 2 trs on it on my web journal. Enjoy. 2015 report second trip.

james_e Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Thanks for the report! How are the snow conditions up there? Are crampons necessary, or is it soft enough to manage with approach shoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 The direct early-season trail is barely workable the snow is soft down low and quite firm up high still. The slopes in general are not that steep so no Crampons were used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
