Does anyone know anything about the conditons on the Tahoma Glacier route?

If you can't carry the gear you should not be on the mountain.

I attempted the Fuhrer Finger route last year over the 4th of July. We made the approach from Paradise. We crossed the Nisqually with minor route finding. There is a ramp that leads up to the ridge, which leads to Camp Hazard. The ramp had rocks in it, but we experienced no rock fall. We camped on the ridge 9000 ft., then you have to go up a bit more and descend into the Wilson Glacier, crossing it to get to the base of the route.

There was no snow or ice on the road to the snow park. Parts of the trails had melted out when we went out on Saturday, but it was not too bad. Conditions most likely have changed since then. r quote: Originally posted by Maurice: Was there any snow or ice on road 16 just before the gate?

FYI Our group of five climbers when in to Broken Top from Rd. 16 out of Sisters. We climbed Broken Top on Friday March 30 in excellent conditions. Our route was the second couloir west of the North Buttress, not in any guide book. There was good snow for step kicking and some ice on the route, it was quite steep. The leader of last year's K2 climb was the person on the sharp end of the rope most of the way. What a trip! It rained that night and we went out in very wet weather the next day. Thanks, to the people that responded to my request for info, r

Thanks Alex. I have several of the guide books. What I was looking for was some current or past years info from people who have actually done these climbs in the winter.

I am looking for information about winter climbs in the Three Sister area as will as Mt Jefferson. Has anyone been climbing in that area lately?
