John and all....
I too am thinking of doing the N. Ridge of Stuart this weekend... one day car to car via Ingalls Way # 1390.
I have two questions... First how much snow is on the route? Is it doable one day yet?
Secondly, i've done the route before and I recall that shortly after leaving the trailhead on #1309 there was a fork in the trail that we got confused on... I am concerned that doing it in the dark I'll get confused again... could somebody remind me which way to bear at this first trail crossing... literally less than a mile from the car.
Thanks!!!
