mattp Posted March 12, 2001 Share Posted March 12, 2001 Doug Swan and I climbed Eldorado via the regular route February 24-25 and the Eldorado Creek approach was in great shape, with little snow in the woods below the boulders, but plenty of cover on the boulders themselves. There was 6-15" of dry powder on a generally firm base above timberline, and we skiied from the summit crest to 4,000 feet. However, the west side of the ridge between Eldorado Creek and Roush Creek was a chest-deep mess, largely hollow underneath. -- Matt Perkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bourne Posted March 18, 2001 Share Posted March 18, 2001 I have never been up that drainage to Eldorado, how did it look as far as avalanche terrain. In the woods alot? open slopes? Is the parking lot still accessible and do you have any suggestions to someone heading up that way, like guidebook deviations or how much time it took? Thanks.
