mykuhl Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 Trip: Snowfield Peak - West Ridge Date: 6/24/2017 Trip Report: Conditions are excellent right now on the Neve Glacier and West Ridge route up Snowfield. The gulley up to the notch on the summit block was melted out along with the 40' descent to the last scramble up to the top. Here are some photos: https://www.flickr.com/gp/98687233@N04/57209Y If you are heading up there, a six pack is waiting for you! Simply look here (48.68117, -121.12980) and bring back our approach shoes and I will thank you with a selection of your choice. Quote
tvClimber Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Shoot! If you had posted earlier I would have looked for your shoes. Went up there over the 7/1-7/4 and tag a few other peaks and the area is in great shape. Lot's of snow, but lot's of dry campsites available on the Moraine and one at the Col. Approach is mostly snow free until about 5000ft. The bugs are coming out and are around the moraine. If you do Colonial, don't go up the steep snow like we did, save yourself some time an look for the snow ramp at the col which should get you to easy terrain that you can reach the upper snowfield. It was Really, Really Beautiful up there right now. Quote
