[Planet of the 8's on the Icicle]

I appreciate the information I have received so far. I have been to the 8"s several years ago. My concern is not tresspassing on the recently developed land/homes.

On my drive by last weekend it looked to me from the road that the trail to this crag was going through private property.

Am I correct with that assumption? If so, is there another way to the 8's?

Does anyone have info on how to access the Planet of the 8's off of the Icicle Road?

Thanks

[Looking for info on Gladys Divide and Mt Cruiser]

I would appreciate any information regarding trai/snow conditions at Gladys Divide. Is the Divide snow free?

 

How is the route up to Cruiser? Conditions for both Needle Pass and Sawtooth Pass?

I am planning a trip to Cruiser the last week of June.

Thanks for the info in advance.

 

[Mt. Seattle]

Retraced the ascent route.

You can climb it from the notch between Noyes and Seattle. I have been there also.

[Mt. Seattle]

I climbed Seattle South Peak a number of years ago in June. I climbed from the Low Divide. Bushwacked from behind the Ranger Station. Pretty straight forward.

[Beta -Sawtooth Ridge?]

I have been up to Sawtooth Ridge several times and climbed Cruiser, Alpha, the Fin, and was weathered off the Horn.

The Horn offers a short multipitch route

Most of the routes are scrambles or a single short pitch of class 4 on low class 5.

I don't remember any places to toprop.

I would go early June for snow approaches. Mid and late summer the passes are doable only with crampons.

[Ptarmigan Traverse question?]

Would the exit be through Spruce/Icy col? Any estimate on the amount of time from there to Stehekin?

Thanks Rat

[Ptarmigan Traverse question?]

Has anyone who has done this traverse ever exited out the West Fork of Agnes Creek?

I am interested in ending up near Stehekin and the boat out.

Thanks for any information

Josh:

How was the approach? How far up the road could you drive?

Thanks
