Wondering if anyone has been up to the enchantments in the last few days and has any info on conditions. Heading in for a few days next week and looking to climb whatever snow/ice/rock routes that are in good condition. I imagine the n. ridge of stuart still has some snow here and there? Thanks all!

Great, thanks so much! We'll be coming down Stuart on the N side, whether it is Sherpa Glacier, NW Buttress Rap, etc, since we'll be camping at stuart lake. Curious to see what the conditions are like on the n side this time of year

Also, looking for the Sherpa descent description by Hirst and Martin but cant find it.

Is there any detailed information on the northwest direct buttress descent (e.g. number of raps, length, etc.)?

Ok. Leaving town in a few days and need to get rid of these. New offer: $395 OBO Thanks! Drew

Curious - why did you get turned back? Will be headed to Bear Mtn via Sumas crossing soon. Any advice?

would like to know this answer to this as well! Thanks in advance

Hey all, Is a 4WD and/or high clearance needed in order to get to the trailhead for climbing Slesse? Also, if coming from the south, which border crossing do your recommend? Thanks! Drew

Hi all, Heading up to the Methow next week, Mon-Sun. I will be staying at the hostel in Winthrop and working most mornings, but hoping to get out on some climbs (goat wall, wa pass, etc) in the afternoons. Rock, snow, etc... all good! Might be able to take a day or two off as well. If anyone wants to go out, go ahead and send me an email dkatz12090@gmail.com Thanks! Drew

Hey everyone, Headed to Yosemite at the end of May to do my first big wall climb (Salathe) and hoping to hone some skills before I go down. Live in Portland, and happy to practice locally (gorge), or head down to Smith on the weekends... If anyone has big wall experience and wants to practice, let's meet up! best, Drew

Thanks so much - Paisano-Burgundy was what I was thinking. Never been up there before, looking forward to it (hopefully it will dry up some!) Thanks for the visual beta - Great photos!

Hey there, looks like a fun day out. Thinking to head up there this week and was wondering if you got a look at any of the rock conditions up there? Did it look like snow had melted off most of the rock faces (north/south sides?), or were there still significant patches of snow? Thanks so much!

New to the area and would love to climb at Value Village but can't seem any info on it anywhere? Is there a map, list of climbs? Thanks everyone!

Thinking to do an early season climb of the south route on Prusik this weekend. Anyone been above Asgard recently? Would it be a mess to do without skis? What are the chances the the cracks on the south side are relatively dry? Any beta/thoughts would be much appreciated! See you out there this weekend Drew

Hi Everyone, Thinking to head up from Portland this weekend. Has anyone been up on Dragontail/Colchuck. What kind of conditions are to be found out there? Hoping to do either Dragontail or Serpentine... Or perhpas Ingalls Peak - is it possible to access the trailhead? Thanks all, Drew

Cerro Torre Delta 65 (orange) - used only a handful of times. This is an older pack/model, but very versatile (best for long backpacking/backcountry climbing trips) $65 + shipping Black Diamond Speed 30 (size small) amazing pack, just a bit too small for me. Have only used it 3-4 times. Great condition. You can read more on the pack here: http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/mountain/packs/speed-30-pack and review here: http://legacy.climbing.com/news/justout/need_for_speed_-_black_diamond_speed_30/ (note: i have the brain of the pack - just to lazy to put it on when taking the picture =) $95 + shipping I also have a Sterling 60m 9.2 Nano, NEVER USED. Let me know if you are interested.... Direct message if interested any of the above! Drew

Hi all, Tis the season of clear skies crisp nights, and dry streams. What is the likelihood there will be water below burgundy col this time of year? I've heard rumors of a permanent spring on thr bench somewhere? And what about mt Stuart, n ridge. Any chance that there will be a snow patch around the notch between the lower and upper n ridge? Thanks all! Be sure to get out there before the days get too short! Dres

Excellent! Thanks Oleg. Great info. Most importantly, what is everyone's favorite bivy site near marblemount? =)

Hey Oleg, Great photos and an amusing read. Will be headed up to do the FT Traverse next week hopefully. Just wondering if you can comment on conditions, esp. re: torment approach (SW ridge or face). Did you get a peak at any other parts of the ridge, or the West notch ascent/descent of Forbidden? Thanks so much! Drew
