  1. Still looking for information. Did anyone get out there this past weekend?
  2. Looking for Beta on conditions and route. Can you help me? Thinking of heading that way next weekend.
  3. thank you. We are looking to do in a couple of weeks. I will check back then. Sounds like things are changing quickly this year. Appreciate the update
  4. Looks amazing Thank you for the report. Any crevasses visible?
  5. Trip: Middle Sister - Hayden Date: 6/7/2015 Trip Report: Went in on Saturday. It was very hot. No snow until we hit camp. The river water felt delicious and tasted good too. Should have started hiking earlier. Hit by the mosquitoes about 3 miles down the trail. Got out of camp at 5am to beat the heat. On snow all of the way from camp; cramponed up the entire way. Excellent boot track up the summit pyramid laid the day before by some skiers. On the summit at 9am with only 2 other climbers. Excellent views both north and south. Passed a few others on our decent. Down and out by 2pm. Great day.
  6. Has anyone been up there recently? I have never done the Hayden nor Renfrew routes. Looking to see if there is access and what conditions might be. Thank you.
  7. If you by chance have found my Leki pole on Hood (orange and Black super light weight). My name is Pat and my number id 503 803 8742. I would greatly appreciate reuniting it with it';s mate.

    Anyone been up the Old Chute or pearly gates this past weekend and have information on the conditions, Bergstrum (sp?), or any other Beta to share? Are folks roping up or is there a staircase? What is the traverse on the top of the chute looking like?

  14. Wondering if anyone has been up lately? I am looking for Beta. Thinking of trying it this weekend. Have not decided on Route. wondering if it is worth bringing skies? thank you
  15. Trip: shasta - clear creek Date: 5/23/2014 Trip Report: Climbed Shasta over Memorial day up the Clear creek route on the south side. Hiked in on Friday ~2000 feet, skinned the last half into base camp. Saturday started up early. We carried our skies to mushroom rock and left them. Being kind of new to AT the remainder of the route felt a bit to steep to us There was snow for our tent to the summit. great sunny day. came back down and skied from Mushroom to tent ~4000 feet. Great gentle terrain. Spent another night and skied out the next day. No photos as I haven't figured it out yet. Highly recommend this route for beginner AT. The crowds were no where close to Avalanche gulch. Gear Notes: skies, crampons and an ice axe
