  1. For all the masses yearning for Lincoln this season, you, like me, are probably too late. We gave it a good go yesterday but the middle couloir is totally reamed by avys and appears discontinuous. The runnels getting over to it looked "fun" as well.....and so we carefully retraced our frontpoints (it was quite icy for so early in the season) and lived to try again next spring. The 'schrund was spicy but passable so we had hope that the upper part of the route would go with moderate shenanigans. What worried me most yesterday is that often the 'shcrund is the crux for parties and the stuff we saw higher made the 'schrund look like a picnic. Such is the spring of 2023. I guess I'll move on to summer objectives.

  2. Trip: Mt. Jefferson - West Rib Trip Date: 05/22/2023 Trip Report: Went to ski the W Rib on El Jeffe with Kellen. Pretty melted out and some big slide debris/runnels. We skied the aspect down towards N Milk Creek instead of staying on the ridge all the way down. Top 1k' was icy but then it got good. Probably tail end of the season for this already with the warm weather and rain. Pictures: Overview pic. We dropped the gully with the big runnel in it that appears to extend directly below the summit pinnacle. Hiking up Summit Pinnacle Hood to the North Sisters to the South Skiing down Final slide alder down to Milk Creek. Gear Notes: Standard volcano spring skiing kit. Approach Notes: Trail to Milk Creek is pretty clear. Easiest way we found was up Milk Creek and then up and left per Oregon High overlay. Minimal shwack/scrambling to reach snow.

  4. I think most find the Jefferson Park route to be in much better shape after the rime is gone, but before the 'shrund becomes problematic. You'll have more fun the next time @pgowdy!
