catbirdseat Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Anyone do the Upper Pride Ice route this year? Anyone do the scramble route and get a good look down the north side? Quote
JasonG Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Just got back today from the Pride Gl. route. It goes fine with only one crevasse blocking the entire route, we climbed into it and out via a short 70 degree pitch (most of the glacier is pretty easily navigated). The descent down the NE ridge has a couple of minor problems, but none too bad. I'll leave the rest for you to discover . . . It is a fun route that has the complete Cascades alpine package. Thanks to its omission in Beckey, I doubt you'll see a soul- we didn't. Have fun! Quote
catbirdseat Posted September 15, 2003 Author Posted September 15, 2003 I've done the route before. We plan to carry over in two days, instead of decending the NE Ridge. I was just afraid of the "3rd Class mud" potential. Quote
