21 year thread bump to post a 7 year old complaint. Bravo!

Crazy story and even crazier that it's deleted the day after it was posted.

In the USFS proposal, it looks like all four huts are being proposed by commercial ventures. I'd like to know what access the public would have (if any) aside from hiring the guides.

Most likely due to bad weather more than anything. Summer alpine season is typically July-Sept. I have a fuzzy memory of the third week of August being the most reliable weather if you're trying to plan a trip in advance.

Awesome read, thanks for positing this! I was unaware of your project until now, that makes turning around on Everest all that much more frustrating I bet! Here's a link to Eric's climbing project: https://www.countryhighpoints.com -
Kind of strange the text in the link says "jim-whittaker". Made me check the article again. Crazy they both made it to 95.

Honestly, people post TR's about cragging at Exit 38. I think any Himalayan trip is worthy here. Your writing style is fantastic for folks aspiring to attempt any of these peaks, lots of important details, no drama.

Looks like Jim's retiring: http://www.promountainsports.com I liked going in there as he always had the latest and lightest stuff and talk gear. Feels like the end of an era with the independent climbing shops closing down.

Early March Conditions in the Enchantments, Route Suggestions
Bronco replied to mammothclimbs's topic in Climber's Board
The snow pack is strange this year, very thin further north, more normal in the south. We skied at the Mt. Baker resort on Sunday and it was shocking to see how thin it was below 4,000', there's hardly any snow. This could all change with a couple of good storms but there's not much hope on the long term forecasts. -

March is historically difficult to line up stable weather windows in the Cascades as well. -
From the news today: https://www.seattletimes.com/life/outdoors/federal-proposals-could-curtail-climbing-anchors-in-wa-wilderness/ I have to wonder how this would effect Darrington as most of that is in the Boulder River Wilderness area.

Incredible effort, holy cow!

Hoping this forecast pans out.

I'm surprised this fart guard hasn't become a standard feature in all tents.
