There was one deep wash before you get to the Granite Sidewalk which requires high clearance but you can park just before and walk the rest easily. The brush along the road will scratch your car's sides.
Sweet! And right after this you jumped on Young Warriors and nothing less in the rain? Had a partner who had never climbed multipitch/trad before otherwise would have joined the party up there. Ended up doing the SE corner. Good seeing ya.
I picked 2 hexes what appeared to be someone's bail anchors 2/3s up on Goldrush and put them in the crag bucket, in case you want to retrieve your gear next time you are at TC.
I found a camera in the main parking lot at Smith on Saturday (6/23). Identify it to me and we'll figure out a way to get it to you. Send email to haydar_kutuk@yahoo.com.
We climbed the north face of Maude from Ice Lakes via Entiat glacier. It adds a bit to the distance but if you come from the col you miss the bottom part of the N. Face which is interesting and almost as steep as the top part plus the Entiat traverse (it took three of us about 4 hours to summit from the edge of the glacier). The conditions on the glacier are good, the face is discontinuous in the middle section but otherwise still in good shape.

Thank you guys, will report back, if we end up going in this weekend.
Checked out your website Phil, good stuff as usual, nice ski on Maude way to go!

Looking at the TRs here, it seems most traverse from Maude-7FJ col to the NF proper as described in Nelson&Pfield. Does anybody have some insight how the Ice Lake-Entiat Gl. traverse from the east side compare?
Thanks!
We were climbing Beacon SE corner on Saturday and saw
two guys to our right around the corner a pitch or so
higher than us. Assuming you're on this list, what route
did you guys climb?
Thanks for pasting the TR, here are few pics, let's see if I can get it right.
