Kyle_Flick Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Anyone know the condition of the face this late in the summer? Still a snow and ice climb or just a rockfall gallery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I've climbed it in late September or early October and it was a snowclimb then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I have added a photo to the gallery of the North Face of Maude from exactly 7 years ago this weekend. Click here. Take it for what it is: old conditions. It may or may not be representative of this year's conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryland_moore Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 If its not in just go do Entiat Icefall instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle_Flick Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Thanks Matt and Paul. Ryland, I did the Icefall several years ago, and this time I'm taking someone that's relatively new to steep snow and thought the north face might be easier for him.

mattp Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Kyle, you didn't ask this question but I would guess that somebody "relatively new to climbing" would not enjoy the traverse from the Maud/Jack col (some experienced climbers too, for that matter); I recommend going that way but it IS a mess of loose rock with some significant exposure so you may want to go the long way around.
