minx Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 I read the sweet TR of the travers from a couple weeks ago. Thinking of heading over this w/e. Does anybody have any beta from the last few days on snow conditions etc? Quote
Blakej Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 nothing on the brothers but I was on Mt stone today only a couple miles away and the snow is melting fast the SSW side was no problem to boot up with sporatic snow and rock/trail. I didn't get to an area to view the brothers though so depending on the route who knows I'm no snow expert. Quote
olyclimber Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 I don't know but let me know the conditions find when you get back. I'm headed over to Mt Constance next weekend. Quote
Blakej Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 oly I have some freinds doing constance sat sunday. I will see if I can get good info for you when they get back. Quote
Harry_Pi Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 Hello capitalist! Since my crystal ball is cracked, call psychic hotline for future snow condition in Olympics. Thank you for allow asian to post. Quote
Tweezer Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 (edited) BLAKE- Im going to attempt Stone this weekend was there any snow on the summit? Edited April 25, 2004 by Tweezer Quote
Harry_Pi Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 Hello capitalist! I see no snow on summit of Mt Stone. You are a very conditioned and capable climber, I have no doubt you have successful climb next weekend. Thank you for allow psychic to post. Quote
Blakej Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 I didn't summit stone because I was expecting snow and treked up with AT boots and skis and when I realized there wasn't going to be anything in the slightest I turned around in bitter disappointment. However I seriously doubt there will be much more than the patches I saw heading up toward the summit. If you want snow and your hitting the hamma hamma area try either Skykomish or pershings which looked to still have a decent base. Talk about disappointment looking for snow and it being on peaks all around except for on your route. Quote
Harry_Pi Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 Hello capitalist! See, like I posted, NO SNOW on summit of Mt Stone. Anymore question for future snow condition on particular route, please ask. I am here to help me follow climber. Thank you for allow psychic to post. Quote
toptimmy Posted May 2, 2004 Posted May 2, 2004 Just got back last nite.Trail 821 (brothers) had very soft snow about 2/3 of the way up.Every so often I would sink up to thigh.Turned around because I was alone and didnt want to get my sissy butt injured on the rocks and brush that was hidden under snow.
