Lincoln PSA

[JasonG]

For all the masses yearning for Lincoln this season, you, like me, are probably too late.  We gave it a good go yesterday but the middle couloir is totally reamed by avys and appears discontinuous.  The runnels getting over to it looked "fun" as well.....and  so we carefully retraced our frontpoints (it was quite icy for so early in the season) and lived to try again next spring. 

The 'schrund was spicy but passable so we had hope that the upper part of the route would go with moderate shenanigans.  What worried me most yesterday is that often the 'shcrund is the crux for parties and the stuff we saw higher made the 'schrund look like a picnic.  Such is the spring of 2023.  I guess I'll move on to summer objectives.

Great photo of that spot. Did you go in from the MF Nooksack road?

I'd recommend these conditions. That looks too chossy for even you!

Oh, I want to see this photo!  Can you upload to the site @cfire?  Doesn't look like the site plays well with Google photos...

Its been on my list for a few years, I am really surprised at how melted out it is right now. Good attempt and thanks for the update.

I think this pretty much sums it up.  @kmfoerster taking care on the way back from our high point:

Damn! That looks firm for that route.

Sorry - I suck at computers...

Wow, @cfire, that looks a lot more fun.
