Alex Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 the last time i tried to go in (last winter), the road was washed out in the valley bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 The Bedal townsite isn't all that far from the trailhead, but it sure would be nice if they'd fix the roads up there. I have no idea if the ice shown here is unusuall for that face or not - anybody have pictures from other years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 i would give it a while to melt/freeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I was able to drive to the Bedal Trailhead this July. No Problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Here it is in the Summer: My uneducated guess would place the ice in the photo at the base of the smaller dihedral/gulley on the about 1/3 of the way in from the right margin of the photo....

Dru Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 that doesn't look like the west side in that photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dberdinka Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 JayB has confused Sloan Peak with White Chuck Mountain. Or maybe he's trying to confuse you. Regardless he's describing the West Coulior route (II 5.7) which might also be a decent winters outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Darren's first hypothesis is correct. Too funny. I am sure there's a real photo of the West Face of Sloan floating out there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 This is the west face of Sloan in Summer If you havent been there up close and personal, you're in for some intimidation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
