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.

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.

KevinC71,
Thank you Thank you. We had a great day and summitted taking the route you described. Conditions were perfect. We saw only 4 others from the hogsback and back again. I love midweek climbing. Thank you again for your help.
-
thank you. Your day looks amazing. Still not sure exactly which chute but hope to find when we get up there. Did you see folks going around crater rock to the left to come into route you took up? Thanks again, pc
-
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?

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
-
Looks like it had been there a while. Large ski boots inside along with camping gear. Brought it down with us though a great deal of it has gotten weathered. Call if you think it might be yours 503 803 8742.
-
It's the 13th - are we there yet?
-
Anybody been up there lately? what's it looking like? Avy issues?
Dreaming of Unicorns this weekend.......
-
thanks for the help. weather looking iffy - will try again later season, but greatly appreciate the response.
-
Does anything look in??
-
Great TR Steve, Thank you for sharing.
-
thank you. Sounds like the thing to do is leave early and take all your food with you - and maybe the hiking poles too.
-
I've done neither of these routes. Heading up later this week. Wondering if anyone would be kind enough to share with me information like: if there is running water in camp, any unusual hazards, UTM of camps, etc.
thanking you in advance!
-
I am sorry for your loss of $$ and energy. Intrusion is a hard thing to recover from. I am glad you are safe and no one was hurt.
I recommend you let all climbing shops and gyms know. Had a friend get used demo shoes ripped from his car. The thiefs tried to sell to PRG. They caught them because PRG knew of the robbery and helped set up a trap.
Hopefully there is a way to find those that did this. Even if they do not - I am a firm believer in karma.

Thank you for all the great suggessions. Funny hiring a guide should be mentioned. I just spend 3 in a AMGA course, and hope to bring some of that education with me to the class I am helping with.
That class, covers more than a day with a guide could as it an 8 week class (field sessions/lectures). I beleive people learn in different ways - one of which is reading and looking at the pretty pictures. I like having text books to refer to. they can also provide a second opinion. This has helped me with my climbing to understand what is safe and what is not.
Do not have "Alpine Climbing" Houston/Cosley - so will definately check it out. Have Pesterfield and Craig Luebben books, like them both.
Thank you all for the additional input.!!!
Anyone been up Glacier Peak recently
