  1. The weather forecast may improve in the next week or so. I am looking for a alpine partner to climb snow and ice (if there is any left).  Some ideas:

    Mt Hood (Devils Kitchen HW, Sunshine, NF gullies (considering low snow level, it's a stretch and an extreme calf burner)

    Rainier (Gibbs Ledges...maybe)

    Chair Peak (NF?)

    Extreme hiking is always an option

     

     

  2. The Black Dike is usually out sometime in March. If it turns out to be a cold rest of the winter, it might be climbable at the end of March. If you try it in above-freezing temperatures be prepared for microwave-to-car-sized blocks to fall on you on the approach and during the climb; in other words, don't do it if it's warm out. I have been to Cannon twice around the end of March/first week of April, and both times we saw huge rockfall in the Black Dike/Whitney G area.

     

    Can't say much about the Adirondacks.

     

     

    Thanks for the info! Late March is a transitional time with not too many options for outside activities.
