Check with TMG. They were up on the North Face yesterday, I believe. Chris

Check with Sisters Ranger District.

You guys are an inspiration!

Water, When you get to the saddle (South of Prouty Point)and start heading up the North Side of Middle, there can be a steep section of snow on the upper slope. You'll know when you get to it. May want to bring a few pickets... Enjoy. It's beautiful out there this time of year.

I've never done the route you're talking about. I've always gone up the North side of Hayden. Even in late Summer the Crevasses are typically on the Left at the base of the East face or off to the North Edge of Hayden. I've done it both roped and un-roped depending on who I am with. Just stay on the highest point of the glacier and head straight up toward Prouty Point (the col). It' a good place to practice roped travel. Beware the upper section above Prouty Point. It can be a bit steep in some years.
