petitdru Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Anyone been in to the N Face of Maude in the past couple weeks? Wondering what snow conditions are like on the traverse from the Maude/Jack Col. Thanks in advance. Brian Quote

Freeman Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 Yea, LZ = landing zones. Chelan County Mountain Rescue has some new helicopter pilots and some new members who don't know our mtns like the old one (he used to tell us "I'll pick you up at that little bench at 7200 on the north side by the big rock..."). So part of our training this summer is to fly to an area that has had (or may have) potential rescue activity, see where the new guys are comfortable landing, getting photos and GPS coordinates for our records, and generally having some fun, er, work, flying around the Cascades looking at the mountains. The upper Entiat/Spiders Meadows was scheduled for tonight and I'm scheduled to fly so I'll take a special look for Petitdru As to "what fer" - we hope we never have to use them. But I've been on two missions in this area already, and that was before the N Face became so popular. Gawd, it's even a ski route now.... Quote
petitdru Posted July 30, 2003 Author Posted July 30, 2003 It'd be awesome if you could get some pictures - don't know how to PM - can you send pictures to petitdru@hotmail.com?? Quote
