Awesome! Saw your headlamps when I woke up for the ICG. For what it’s worth I found the booting totally miserable both the way there and back

Thinking of bivying at the road end Friday night and climbing car to car on Saturday. PM me if looking for a partner and we can hash it out.

Great climbing with you!

Also interested. Climbed NEB on 1/27 and ran into a party on the way out who did the N Face and reported that it was great. Feel free to drop a line

Thinking about it, preferably Sunday. If you’re interested let me know.

I’m free 8/30 - 9/1 and hoping for another hit of the n cascades good stuff. I had early morning spire on the brain, maybe dorado needle too, but my partner lost some days off. Get in touch if that sounds good or if you want to do something similar. Thanks!

Thanks @ccox42 !

Thanks @JasonG that looks like no kinds of fun

Anyone done this approach this year? Or this time of year in the last couple years? I haven't found much info on it and I'm wondering what the rap anchors are like and if I should expect moat shenanigans. Appreciate any info.

Bump. Weather’s looking so good. If you have the same dates free but Buckners not your thing, be advised that I really just wanna go climb something. Some rock would be nice too.

Wanna take Monday off and do Buckner or something similar? Let me know. I’d like to approach from Boston basin trail and tag Sahale. Then take horseshoe basin + salahe arm on the way back.

Chair's NEB has been on my mind. I'm free on the 10th, and could get free for the 11th.

What kind of traction do you use for this madness?

KaskadskyjKozak, There was also a ranger on the trail to Boston Basin who checked our permit, which is a good thing. But yeah, the interaction at the WIC was pretty weird. I do think he was a climbing ranger FWIW. We could definitely use clearer guidance on which zones encompass which bivy spots. Where is it written which zone the NR bivy is in? I took the map at face value.

our rap way is clear on the Boston moat near the bivy moonrise moonset higher snowfield, can bypass on left
