Lambone Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 I did... there is Ice on the North Face of Mt. Stuart ...lots of ice. Thin smears up miles of granite that look climbable. Looks like a BD ad from Alaska. Bring some pitons and stubbys and go for it. We would have, but we were wearing apporach shoes, carrying featherweight alpine axes and had one stubby. And we are not hard... By the time I get my pics developed it will probably be gone, or buried in snow...but trust me, it is there...definately there after this last moisture front.

layton Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 (edited) IF there's ice there, then other peaks of similiar elevations should also have N.facing ice. Bet that couloir on Eldorado is IN (among other things). Hood's shaping up, maybe it's (the ice routes that is) climbable?? Dunno, maybe I'll check it out this weekend soon as I get my boots stretched to fit my feet again.

Paco Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 So who's going out this weekend and climbing what? The weather and conditions look good for lots of stuff. Send, send, send! I, on the other hand, will be and this weekend. Gotta celebrate a b-day and Halloween. I want to read lots of trip reports come monday (or Tuesday if you epic ) of sick mixed alpine sends all over the Cascades. Climb these routes and more: North Face Couloir Eldorado, stuff as indicated by Lambone on Stuart, other stuff in the surrounding area, North Face route or other stuff on Hood, and whatever other routes catch your attention! Go get 'em! Anyone been to the Upper Curtis Glacier on Shuksan recently? How's the road into the Sulphide Glacier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrgo Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 What y'all think about the Silverton Sickle route on Hall Peak for this weekend? It looks like a pretty sweet climb, at least the way that the new guide shows it. Anybody climbed it? Is it worth it this weekend, or is it better to hit up some more hardcore alpine stuff since its in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 Upon internal speculation, and remotely viewing the areas, I have decided that nothing's in. Stay at home, get drunk and sleep in this weekend. Sorry to get your hopes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpine_Tom Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I took the mountain Westie up north today, hoping to bag Tomihoi Peak. Man was I out of my depth with hiking tennies and ski poles -- it looks like a Mark Twight route up there now, water ice on rock all over the place.

salbrecher Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 My partner and I found some ice in Field this weekend! Some ice filled gully left of all the climbs named after beer. It was fab-u-lus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Silverton Sickle might be an interesting exploration trip this time of year, but dont bet its formed. Its a long climb thats at least going to be partially fed by snowmelt...
