Great TR- thanks!
I haven't been on this route before, but am interested in doing an 'up and over' down the south side. My party includes some strong hikers, but with limited ice axe / crampon experience.
I'm curious what you think the snow sections might be like now- how long, exposed and steep are they?
And, would it possible to use a 30m rope to protect those spots. I don't want to put these guys into a committing and dangerous spot.
North Cleaver Route & Condition Beta?
in Southern WA Cascades

I'm curious if anyone has been up there recently.
-- What are the snow conditions like on or around the ridge?
-- How long, exposed and steep are the 2-3 'difficult parts'?
-- Would it possible to use a 30m rope to protect those spots?
I don't want to put these guys into a committing and potentially dangerous situation.
