Â No smoke in the Stuart area. We could see smoke coming out of a valley north of us though. Looked like upper Icicle Creek valley/road (north of Cashmere)?? It was hazy in the afternoons but the smoke settled overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtenay Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Actually, we must have been just on your heels (we did this the very same weekend) but we DID find a snow patch just on the west side of a notch at 8200 feet, if you recall there's a string of about 6 bivy spots all at one place and then a view to the west if you top out left of them -- if you go 30 feet down the other side, voila, an old snow bank that relinquished an extra 6.5 liters for our party of four. Helps to look all around while you're climbing, you never know what you'll find. And thank goodness, we encountered NO snafflehounds. However, we certainly DID catch whiffs of smoke at our nice 8,200' bivy in the couloir! Awesome climb, can't wait to do it again now that we know the route.
