After what Off White and Michlae Layton said about the summer climbing of this route it has me thinking about a winter ascent. It certainly looks exciting! I wonder if the first week of April would be too late for good winter conditions up there. I just happen to have that week off from work. Maybe I'll ski up there this weekend and check it out. Descending the NE ridge might prove problematic with a bunch of snow on it, although it might make it an easy downclimb?

90 min decent sounds pretty f'n sweet

I'm thinking May or June

Greetings to all that make up the wealth of knowledge and experience that is Cascade Climbers! I'm planning an attack on the north face-central rib of Triumph. I have the Beckey book, but I can't seem to find any other beta on the route or recent info on the condition of the glacier below the north face. I assume approaching via the notch at the base of the NE ridge is the way to go, but the Triumph Pass aproach has also been mentioned. Descent opinions would also be appriciated. Down the NE ridge or SE sholder? Any tid-bits would help, thanks!
