thrutch Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Reading thru this here site this evening it blows my mind on how dumb people are when they ask about snow conditions. It is spring time, it ends to snow in the moutains in the winter and typically does not melt out till early july. This cycle has been repeating for several thousand years. You are planning on climbing a mountain why not just plan on snow and not ask the dumb question. You know who you are so why not just give up early cause you will probably bail either way.

JoshK Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 If you'd read carefully you'd see a *lot* of these people (myself included) are asking about very specific snow conditions for the sake of skiing, etc. The cascades aren't one big homogenous range. Go compare the snowpack at 6k east of wa pass with the snowpack at 6k around cascade pass. Whether it's a good snow year or bad, the snowpack from region to region can vary significantly. There is nothing wrong with trying to solicit information about a specific area if people have been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jja Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Hey that reminds me. Do you happen to know what the conditions are like at the pass? Do I need boots and gaiters for potential post holing or will approach shoes work? Also do you know if the routes I plan to climb will be dry? ... seriously, so the fuck what if people ask about conditions. Sure everyone knows there is snow to some degree or another, but what's wrong with getting up to date info if someone's been to the area you're interested in. Lighten up dude !

ashw_justin Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I can think of at least three approaches in my backyard that have drastically changed due to snow conditions in the past month. Being prepared is important, yes. But that's exactly why we ask these kinds of questions, so that we know what to prepare for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, what the fuck dude? Some routes are very condition dependent like the couloir leading to the west ridge of Forbidden, and a bunch of stuff like that. If you don't care about that stuff, then don't read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking a whole god damn lot..... if used properly, a big pile of shit will be at least as effective as 2 crashpads. one for absorbing fall energy and one psychologically - who wants to back flop into a dung heap?

EWolfe Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Is it flip-flop conditions yet on the approach to lower town wall? I got a mosquito bite on my foot last time, reminding me how brutal the conditions can be up there...in the wilderness... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
