BELAYTHIS Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Has anyone been up to the Boston Basin recently. Perhaps any new photos of Sharkfin and Forbidden. Has anyone climbed the North Ridge of Forbidden in early season or winter ? Quote
joe_retard Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Don't go, it's too hazardous this time of year. Quote
BELAYTHIS Posted May 19, 2003 Author Posted May 19, 2003 Hazardous? Have you been up there this time of year? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 Kind of outdated but they were looking rime iced last weekend through binocs Quote
BELAYTHIS Posted May 19, 2003 Author Posted May 19, 2003 Where were you able to see them from? Were you able to see if any of the ridges were clean of snow yet? Quote

I'd bet a lot has fallen off. My guess is a nice hike in next weekend might make a good scouting. Â I saw them from the west near Razorback Mountain with binocs. I cant say for sure what it was like. Only what it appeared to be. Quote
BELAYTHIS Posted May 19, 2003 Author Posted May 19, 2003 Any knowledge of winter assents of the North Ridge or Forbidden? Quote

BELAYTHIS Posted May 19, 2003 Author Posted May 19, 2003 Winter? Officially, No. Why would you need to ask if it still winter? Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted May 19, 2003 Posted May 19, 2003 BELAYTHIS said: Winter? Officially, No. Why would you need to ask if it still winter? Â I bet it would make a good winter route. Possibly easiest route technically to the summit but offering more length, commmitment and exercise. NOt sure what Joe Retard thinks. I've not done it but it looks like it would be the route doable under most seasons. Wet rock might make it interesting this time of year but maybe not Quote
BELAYTHIS Posted May 19, 2003 Author Posted May 19, 2003 I'll let you know thanks for your help. If you think of something that could shed some light on route, this year, recent,I would be grateful. Quote

A very late lingering winter.  Duh Next time I climb in May or June and encounter winter like conditions, might as well beat my chest and announce another winter ascent.  Let's summit Rainier during inclement weather around spring time and post our winter trip report.

Toast Posted May 23, 2003 Posted May 23, 2003 I was scoping out Eldorado on Tuesday. About 18" of new unconsolidated snow from 5000' up (prob fell last weekend.) I'd heard it was as much as three feet up high. Saw lots of evidence of spontaneous slides... prob more so now with the recent heatwave. From memory, Forbidden looked white tipped (but then I wasn't specifically scouting that out.) Â Go forth, climb and report back Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted May 23, 2003 Posted May 23, 2003 Here'a recent shot in the area. Name the gun and name the mountains you can see. Then I will post pics of forbidden. Quote
