Adam__S Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 is the road up from icicle creek to the colchuck lake/asgard pass trailhead drivable at all? The USFS website says no, but it looks like it hasn't been updated in a month. Has anyone been up to the pass recently? Thanks for any help.. Also looking for info on Black peak/lewis lake area, but I'll post that in N. Cascades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 drivable for about a mile till you hit that real narrow section w/ the steep drop-off - there's dirt and snow blocking it there (as of a few weeks ago, and i'd imagine a tractor would have to move the rubble even if the snow had melted out). knocks some of the bullshit road hike out though.

Ade Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Last weekend the road was gated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 ack, that sucks! anyone confirm it's still gated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summitseeker Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 It was still gated on Sunday, 3/6. After coming out of the Enchantments, I drove up the Icicle to investigate. That's the most recent information I have. BTW, it's Aasgard Pass (note spelling), despite what all the maps say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I thought it was spelled "assguard??" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJohnson Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Come On!, its only an extra hour of hiking from Icicle to the trail head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJohnson Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Or Asshard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 gate still closed and i imagine it'll stay that way for at least another month. it's dry for about half the length but wet, and the upper part is pretty thick ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pms Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Good news. They opened the gate yesterday about 11am. The nice ranger even gave us a ride the last mile back to our car at B.C.C.G. The trail to Stuart/Colchuck is melting out and icy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 So what did you climb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pms Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 NW face on Stuart on Monday, which was in great icy conditions as suggested by Colin. I think John Cooper will post a TR hopefully with a picture showing the route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
