Thanks, I went up and checked for myself over the weekend. The snow finger is in great shape, and should be for a while. Saw you flying around friday evening John.
Haven't seen any TR's from this year yet. Specifically, I was wondering if the snow finger leading up to the west ridge notch has melted out yet. Anyone been up there recently?
Thanks in advance.
You might try doing a search on NWhikers.net or WTA.org for Lena Lake or the Brothers. Sounds like the trail is snow free to lower lena lake right now. No problems/special concerns I can think of up there. Have fun!
Sounds like your harness might be the issue. I've never had a problem adjusting leg loops around to drop trow and pee, or other, without unroping, aka Fern's technique.
