Looking for a partner for N. Hozomeen this weekend (Sunday). Trailhead bivy on Sat and day trip on Sunday. If interested please contact me at sverdina@comcast.net cheers, -Sergio

Seeking recent beta re. roads used to access the NW Ridge of Vayu. The peak is accessed via Jamie Creek FSR. Jamie is accessed via the Hurley and Bridge FSRs. Any additional info as to the approach and conditions assuming anyone knows is also appreciated. Cheers!

I drive but need partner for climb of Upper Exum route. Pls send PM if interested.

LMAO!!! I love it! Finally!!

Sorry, I must be a bit slow. I assume that's the Canadian Alpine Journal? http://www.alpineclubofcanada.ca/publications/caj.html Where in that exactly would I find the info I'm after?

Does anyone have any beta concerning the shorter approach alternative via Radium? How long/far from car to hut? Where's the trailhead exactly. Fees if any? Any other details appreciated.

I found reasonable cell coverage from the summits for Challenger and Triumph, although in both cases I had to force the phone to analog mode (Verizon). ;-) Now that I've changed to ATT, I find coverage in general to be far inferior to Verizon and in areas other than the I5/I90 corridors it's pretty much worthless. I second Josh's advice - the b/c is no place for an iPhone or similar phones. If you must get an ATT iPhone, also get a cheapo off of Craigslist and pop the SIM card in it before you head out.

Hi Mark, Not sure if you've got anything lined up yet, but I have roughly the same time window open. Ideally Dec. 26 - 31...and was considering a trip to Rogers Pass. Let me know if interested. -Sergio

Any update on potential openings for Mystery Creek Road? Dberdinka, where do you look to find info on road status?

PM sent.

Looking for info concerning the approach to Wedge. Is the road to TH snow free at this point? I'm assuming the road is still passable...no washouts and such??

Trail to PCT is in reasonable shape. Some blowdown and one annoying boulder-hopping creek crossing and that's about it. Mostly clear after Mackinaw Shelter. A crew had successfuly cleared the blowdown along the Pilot Ridge trail and was making good progress removing the logs lying across the NF Sauk Trail while we were up on Glacier the first week in Aug...not sure how much farther they got since then as one of the guys apparently blew his knee out trying to lift a log (they gave me a ride back to the car on my way out).

Based on the photo (#2) of the approach to Horseshoe Basin, I'm guessing that the first photo is taken somewhere on Buckner?? Perhaps that obvious ridge/buttress right of the Davenport? Ripsaw Ridge?
