Thanks much Eben!

Thanks much Dave56! No shortage of snow there..... The shot of what must be the Mix-up traverse certainly looks mighty steep. If you return from your recce before 13 July, I'd be extremely keen to hear from you.

Has anyone done the Ptarmigan Traverse this year? I am planning to do it ten days from now, without skis. Would be grateful for any beta/condition report.

Thanks much Dan! Yup, I had read about the 9 mile slog.... That wouldn't stop us... It is just a painful thought to rent an extra car just to leave it standing idle for a week... Though we might end up doing just that.

Hi everyone, I am planning to do the Ptarmigan Traverse this summer (mid July)with a friend. We'll be coming over from Europe and the East Coast and, hence, will need to rent a car. As we would like to avoid having to rent two cars (one to leave at the Southern trailhead (Downey Creek) and the other at the Northern (Cascades Pass), I wonder whether you'd have any advice on agencies/people out there who might either pick us up at, or deliver us from, Downey Creek to Cascade Pass. Any advice would be most appreciated!! Cheers, Girevi
