AlpinistAndrew Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Myself and two friends decided we were going to try the Sulphide Glacier route on Shuksan. We left Friday evening and drove to the trailhead, but it was snowing pretty hard and the weather didn't look too good at all. So we drove over to washington pass instead, camped there friday night. The next morning we got up and climbed the Southwest Couloir on SEWS. It was fun. It snowed most of the time, with a bit of clearing. It was bloody cold though. The snow was rather firm too, which made for good climbing. Overall, it was a good time, I still wanna get up shuksan, but at least we climbed.

plexus Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Snow was harder than hell up in that area today. Soloed up Blue Lake Peak for some excercise. I brought snowshoes and wished I had brought crampons. I wound up cutting steps on stuff that was only 40 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
