Climberextreme Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Whats the status of the North Face? Is it in shape, worth climbing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucK Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I put "chair" in for subject and "last two weeks" for timeframe and I got nothing (about chair peak). Now what Pax? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinfox Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I searched for "Chair" in "Alpine Lakes" forum Last 3 years (beta from past seasons is valuable too) and selected "Show main post" only I got lots of results back, including this one which is probably the most relevant in this case: Heiny's TR 3/13/04 Do I have to do everything around here!?!?

genepires Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 the NF is probably not in good shape is it has been very warm for the last week or so. wouldn't waste the time to hike up there. TC (triple c) should be good though, as it is higher in altitude and should freeze solid every night. march n april are good times for TC.

Alpine_Tom Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I searched for "Chair" in "Alpine Lakes" forum Last 3 years (beta from past seasons is valuable too) and selected "Show main post" only I got lots of results back, including this one which is probably the most relevant in this case: Heiny's TR 3/13/04 Do I have to do everything around here!?!? I'm guessing that Climberextreme saw that TR from 2 1/2 weeks ago, but figured, reasonably, that a snow/ice climb can change a lot in two weeks in March. Since the majority of people who do routes don't appear to post TRs, it seems reasonable that asking for information would be more likely to get more current conditions than relying on a 3/13 TR.

Alpinfox Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 OK OK OK... You're right. It was a reasonable question. It does seem like lots of people don't use the Search function to its full potential though... Back on topic, I agree with Gene that the ice routes on Chair are probably gone for the year, but I haven't been up there in a couple of weeks. Anyone have any recent first hand beta for Mr. ClimberExtremeoMtDude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Yeah, what he said and what about the NE Buttress? Perhaps that is melted out enough to be doable as a rock/snow climb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
