Report from Mike the North Cascades Climbing Ranger on 8/5 from a party that attempted on 8/4: glacier should go (he said rather slowly) but a party just yesterday was turned back by the moat/schrunde to get from glacier to needle, but who knows how long they searched, we might have better luck finding a snow bridge. In general, the low snow and high temps mean the glaciers are fracturing more, opening more, increased crevasse danger. If the woman and her friend that attempted it are back and perhaps reading this, we'd love to know what they saw

I found a matching pair of boots on Adams on Monday. One at 9400', the other at 7300'. Contact me with description if you lost yours.
