Twin Sisters

[uww]

Anyone been up Twin Sisters lately? Looking for snow conditions. 

Thinking of leaving late some night soon and taking a couple days/nights to do them both at a leisurely pace. I love the long ridge scrambles so going to do them individually and not the traverse. Can't decide what order to hit them or where to camp, so any beta or recommendations welcome.

Climbed S. Twin last weekend and snow starts about 4900' in the basin between N and S Twin, but the west ridges of both peaks are dry. 

One approach for a 2-3 day trip would be to camp in basin between peaks at about 4900.  Good flat camps there along the climber's trail.  When you packed up after climbing the WR of the S Twin, you could leave the S Twin climber's trail ~4200' and 'schwack NW to intersect the N Twin climber's trail ~4500' on the WR.  Drop overnight stuff there and go up and down the WR of N Twin, picking up the stuff before heading out (or camping another night at the end of the logging spur where the N Twin climber's trail begins.

Note- I have not done the connection described above so I have no idea how 'schwacky it is, but it would save a lot of distance and elevation gain from going back to the road before heading up for N Twin.

Oh, and post up a TR when you get back (unlike me)!
