Thanks everyone for the useful info. I already got my Obsidian permit, and we may be out of luck on summiting, as it may be snowing on Monday! We're still going to Obsibian Cliffs area, etc. But we'll play it by ear on the summit. Thanks again -

I am just a hiker/backpacker, not a technical climber. I've heard that Middle Sister is a non-technical climb this time of year, can any one give me some info. about climbing from Obsidian TH, which I want to do next week? We will probably just take our time and camp up near Obsidian Cliffs somewhere, maybe Sunshine Meadow, and try to summit the next day. I have summited South Sister in the past and found it strenuous, but not bad really. I didn't have to walk on any snow, which I prefer since I have no cramp-ons. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
